I have an abundance of information all I need to know is what to say that
will help.
The OS I am loading is currently FreeBSD 5.3
I went to adaptec and found some information about FreeBSD 4.11. I
tried that version as well. I can get Solaris 10 to load but it fails to
find the raid as a valid drive.
Fedora Core 2 also boots and says it can't find a drive.
The Raid boots up fine and builds with no faults.
When I install a little 850 meg IDE drive and set that to master,
Still the btx loader dies. Here is what the final screen says:
/boot/kernel/acpi.ko text=0x3fbfc data=0x1c04+0x112c
syms=[0x4+0x72f0+0x4+0x97c7]
/

BTX Halted
I think I copied all that correctly.
Has anyone got a quick idea why this fails right off?
Does this mean I need to set the same flags as what Adi Pircalabu suggested
in the "help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" thread?
" When the boot menu appears, try this:
- escape to loader prompt
- set hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"
- set hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x9"
- boot"
Would this help me? In this case I'm lost here.
