However soon after the CD starts to boot the machine reboots. --- Boot from CD: CD Loader 1.2 ... Looking up /BOOT/LOADER... Found :) --- Computer reboots at this point. The CD seems to boot fine if i disable the onboard RAID controller, however i need to install on it. I've tried toggling the different SATA modes, as well as disabling the other SATA controller, but nothing helps. I told my client that FreeBSD will run on this system as the PDC20378 is listed as supported in the hardware notes, and now im stuck. Whats going on here? Thanks.
