    Sounds like u have followed the install guide with the drivers.
    I couldn't get that to work ( without ACPI ) I had to install with
    ACPI but this was 5.4-RELEASE but using the 5.3 driver from
    highpoints site as there wasn't a 5.4 driver available.
    1. Boot from cd
    2. got to boot prompt, load the driver from floppy
    3. unplug the floppy ( must to this as floppy under amd64 is
    broken )
    4. boot the kernel and install.

    Notes:
    1. I was using a RAID 5 array 5 disks * 400Gb.
    2. Create the array using 16 k stripe or the performance will be
    poor.
