Now I can successfully FDisk and Disklabel the volume. When the installer tries to run newfs it hangs. It shows me the dialog (the Running newfs -U -O2 /dev/da0s1) in the first pty and in the 2nd (or 3rd?) pty it has the first few lines of the newfs output but never starts printing out the (inode?) numbers. Just to make sure my card isn't dud I installed RHEL and used the 64bit kernel module from 3ware.com and it works fine. Thanks for your help. Philip
