Hi,

  I am trying to install FreeBSD (have tried 4.9, and the 5.1 ISO's)  It
hangs at:
Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle

My hardware:
Intel NA440BX MB, 512MB ram, dual PIII 350 processors
Mylex Acceleraid 250(DAC960)
Latest bios/firmware downloaded and installed on both MB and Raid card =
last
week.

ISO's downloaded last week as well. =20

I know the raid card works, I had netware installed on the machine prior =
to
moving it to new hardware.

If there was an option to install unlisted drivers at the initial setup
screen, where I am suppose to remove drivers that do not apply, then I =
might
be able to continue on and get this installed.  I selected FreeBSD =
because
it seemed to be abit more up to date with releases of other software we
would be running (Sendmail 8.12.10, etc)

Any suggestions where to begin troubleshooting the install?  I did =
download
the latest drivers for the card as well, but all the install =
instructions
I've found assume there is already a working FreeBSD system, which I do =
not
have.

(FWIW, Redhat 9 also is failing to install, it locks up loading its =
DAC960
driver -never even gets to any sort of config)

Thank you,
Mike
