I also tried booting up verbosely to see if that gave more useful information - this is the last thing spit out : amrd0: <MegaRAID logical drive> on amr0 amrd0: 26049MB (53348352 sectors) RAID 5 (optimal) Creating Disk amrd0 then nothing else - I've let it sit that way for over an hour just in case it was actually doing something. The same thing happens with 4.2-RELEASE (haven't got a 4.3 CD handy). This same system was running NT previously, so the adapter works, and without the RAID adapter FreeBSD will install just fine. Is there anything else I can do to help troubleshoot the problem ? Thanks, Craig To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
