I have tried to install FreeBSD 10.3 in a HP DL20 Gen 9 server with P440
smart array. My installation media is in a USB drive.

In BIOS I set the Boot mode to Legacy boot mode.=20
Created my P440 array and a logical drive with RAID 1.
Disabled B140i controller.

The installation process went on and I saw the following messages : =20

Similar to yours but not exactly the same. But I have ciss0 on P440 and =
da0
on ciss0. I think my P440 is properly probed and instantiated. After =
this
stage my installation process hangs with the following error:

Mounting from ufs:/dev/ufs/FreeBSD_Install failed with error 19.

Then my usb keyboard is frozen and I can not enter anything to let the
installation process continue.=20

I can not figure what the problem is. Could you please give me some
solution? Could it be an installation media download issue?. =
Installation
media creation problem ? ( I used=20
dd if=3DFreeBSD-10.3-RELEASE-i386-mini-memstick.img of=3D/dev/da1 =
bs=3D1M
conv=3Dsync command to create the boot usb)

All
Also don't forget to is install cciss_vol_status to monitor the array .
