    Hi,

    I have this problem with an Adaptec 1210SA S-ATA RAID controller...
    I want to install FreeBSD 5.1 but it doesn't work with the controller.
    5.1 crashes in sysinstall, when probing for devices. I don't know exactly
    why, but this happens even if the controller is out of the computer.
    maybe because it doesn't find any hdd ?
    ok, I got then 5.2RC2 boot floppies, and this doesn't crash, but still
    it doesn't identify the raid controller, it see 2 hdd.
    I installed the base system on one of them, and unfortunatly I cannot
    boot it.
    Please help me with any suggestion.
    I don't really care about the hardware raid, I only wish that i could
    install
    and boot from one of the drives.
    Will JBOD mode help me in any way ?

    I am waiting for any suggestions...
    If I can't solve this problem, I will be forced to use linux, or I will
    leave
    another person taking care of the server, by installing windows :(

    Thank you very much.

    Claudiu Dragalina-Paraipan.
