Hi,

I'm trying to set up FreeBSD on an Epox 845 chipset motherboard, P4 1.3 wit=
h
a builtin HighPoint 372 RAID controller. The boot process would fail and it
would go into a boot-splashscreen-reboot cycle. Several BSD versions were
tried but to no avail.

I've also tried the HighPoint FreeBSD drivers for the 5.4 release, and afte=
r
loading the driver and typing 'boot', it would 'silently' crash and reboot.

Windows installation can go through on the system w/o RAID drivers without =
a
glitch, but not FreeBSD or Linux. I need to run a *nix box without any RAID=
.
The installation is to be done on a unpartitioned disk.

Does anybody has any info on resolving such a problem. Thanks.
