>Environment:
since, the boot fails, I cannot get there
>Description:
FreeBSD 5.5 and before do not exhibit the problem since they use BTX
1.01.  If I try to boot the system on FreeBSD 6.4 which uses BTX 1.02
and an array is defined in the serveraid adapter (tried Serveraid 3L,
4L, 4Lx, etc.) the boot freezes when trying to assign bios drive C right
after Bios A drive is assigned.  It does not halt or provide any
information, it just freezes.  If the serveraid adapter has no array
defined, drive c is not assigned and booting works but installation
fails since no drive is present to install.  Same behaviour whether cd
or disks are used to boot.  I tried on on IBM x326m, IBM x300 and IBM
x306m with same results.
>How-To-Repeat:
Configure a raid-1 array on a scsi based serveraid adapter 3L, 4L, 4Lx
and try to boot FreeBSD with a BTX 1.02 (6.4-Release or more) and the
freeze should occur.
