    I had a similar problem once. I was booting from a sata raid control
    and compiled a kernel without ata raid support. It would reboot after
    the modules preloaded and before the boot menu came up. I would
    recommend making a bootable cd with a custom kernel, or just a new one
    with the right(or all) drivers for raid.

    I haven't heard of btx loader before, but google just came back with a
    load of stuff, including an email on the freebsd lists about a bios
    update fixing some raid controller that would otherwise prevent you from
    booting.
