I got a Dell T110-II server on 2013-July-19. It has two 1Tbyte drives that the PERC H200 controls, RAID 1. I tried to install FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE from a DVD from FreebsdMall. The autopart segfaulted, evidently because it could not find any disks. I think there is a PR about the segfaulting (bad bug, no messages). I worked around the problem by going to the loader prompt when the initial boot choice screen came up; it's option 2. I gave the commands: load mps.ko boot Install went fine. I had to create (last bsdinstall screen, shell option) the file /boot/loader.conf, containing the single line: mps_load="YES" The system boots, and seems to be OK. The 9.1-Release kernel does not contain the mps module, so the above installs it, and the probe finds it as it should. I hope this helps.
