A little update. I managed to get it booting when removing the network
card and switching the PCI slot for the SCSI card. Then I installed and
configured FreeBSD, rebooted, and configured a vinum stripeset across
four disks. While performing a newfs on the vinum volume, the kernel
kept on complaining `trap 19 while interrupts disabled'. And now the fun
part. I reinstalled the network card, it didn't boot. Then again removed
the network card, it still does not boot. Removed the SCSI controller
too, booting from CDROM fails. I can do whatever I want, it does not
boot anymore.
I have tried another computer with the same motherboard, and it boots
just fine from CD. Could it be faulty hardware? The thing is, Win2K does
run without noticeable problems.
