Hi!
Buying the server with B140i controller is not good idea for installing
FreeBSD. But it's a "question of money". ;-(
The entire series controllers Bxxxi often has bugs and performance
degradation in FreeBSD.
As a workaround to install FreeBSD with the controller Bxxxi you can use
following recommendation:
---------------------------------------------
Turn off the software RAID in BIOS, and it should work fine.
To disable the Bxxxi RAID, do this:
On Boot press F9 and enter the Setup
System Options
SATA Controller Options
Embedded SATA Configuration : Enable SATA Legacy Support
HP Dynamic Smart Array Bxxxi RAID Controller : Disabled
PCI Device Enable/Disable
Intel(R) SATA Controller #1 : Enabled
Intel(R) SATA Controller #2 : Enabled
HP Dynamic Smart Array Accelerator Manager : Disabled
---------------------------------------------
Network controller 361T should be fine.
Integrated network controllers of HP are working well too.
I just installed FreeBSD 10.2 on DL360 Gen9 server (K8N32A) with integated
network adapter, H240ar HBA disk controller and 2 HDD.

It was difficult because HP is not interested in collaboration with FreeBSD.
But in general I guess that buying a server K8N32A is very cost-effective
for medium projects.
I used root on ZFS-sripe - it is a good modern solution.
Best Regards,
Dmitriy
