Help?
 
Which version and architecture of the install cd are you using?
 
I check install
freebsd 5.0-R, 5.1-R, 5.2-R, 6.3-R, 7.0-R, 7.0-S, 8.0-C.
OpenBSD4.3,
NetBSD,
Solaris10,
and only ReDHat9 work.
 
Try booting by escaping to the loader prompt and booting into verbose mode with:
Code:
boot -v
Or booting with ACPI disabled.
 
Are you sure that RAID controller is supported? Some servers have option
to present hard drives as directly attached or via RAID. Try disabling RAID and then booting.
