Let's start a thread on the BP6 ? (the release of the board was carefully synchronized with stable SMP releases of FreeBSD : kudos to the FreeBSD release engineering team ;-)) I've also got one of these babies (dual 460 @ 2.1V) and I'm wondering if I should buy a new PSU (300W, instead of the present 250W) - the reliability is not yet up to par with my ancient (??) P-II (I've got a crash after a row of "make buildworld"s). Is it possible to directly boot from the HPT-366 controller ? (I know the BIOS is ok, but is there any problem with the new ata driver ?)
