Okay, well, some things you could tell us:

What revision of FreeBSD are you trying to install?

What is displayed during the PCI probe phase (if anything)? It should
be the last few lines before ``changing the root device to <foo>'' on
2.1.0-RELEASE, and just after the memory scan on the 2.2-current SNAP.

It's quite possible you have the new controller from Buslogic, and
they are not releasing programming information to anyone (the last I
heard), so you could be sort of stuck :-(
