Per advise of several people, I purchased a Promise SATA controller
(TX4) for FreeBSD-5.
I installed the card today, plugged the drives in (in the correct slots
and order), and the system fails to boot. Particularly, when you try to
boot from the CD's, this (large) error is displayed and the system halts.
The system runs a SOYO Dragon Platinum motherboard, which has the
on-board Silicon Image controller (which I had working before, BTW).
I'm hoping someone here can decode this, as it took quite a long time to
hand-write down and type in:

As far as I can tell there is no conflict with the motherboard/BIOS. I
tried to disable the on-board SATA (set to IDE only) and that made no
difference. It's a separate bus.
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks....
