Hello, I am using an AMI MegaRaid Enterprise 1200 (428) in a Dell XPS H. I am trying to install from a 4.1-RELEASE CD. The installer recognizes the logical drive I created on the RAID card correctly, and appears to install FreeBSD onto the drive correctly. However, when I reboot, I get a message saying to insert bootable media. I have tried various partition and slice combinations (to make sure I wasn't running into any upper limits on size or placement), using the bootmgr and standard options, but these variations didn't change anything. I have also tried marking the partition used for FreeBSD as both bootable and non-bootable (can't imagine why the latter would work, but...) and still the same result. I know the machine is capable of booting from the MegaRaid card just fine, since I successfully installed and booted W2K on it. Does anyone have any ideas what else I can try to get this machine to boot from that card?
