>Description:
Whenever I try to install bsd on a abit kt7/raid (ata/100) using an IBM Deskstar 30g, it locks up in the installation right after you label your partitions and it goes to make a new file system.. it seems to make it just fine, but then it just hangs there and the hard drive stops working.  I have tried installing bsd onto the drive when I have put the cable onto a regular ata/33 interface and it works just fine, but after I install it and then move it to an ata/100 interface, it asks me to mount something.. I have tried everything I could think of given what it tells me in the startup.  It says the drive is being detected at starup as "ad4", when I try to mount the root, it seems successful but then puts me into single user mode and I can't mount the other partitions.  Also the raid uses a highpoint controller (some weird bios software), their website is: highpoint-tech.com

Thanks
>How-To-Repeat:
Install BSD 4.0 on a KT7/Raid machine.

 This is not a problem of FreeBSD, nor is it "weird HPT bios software problem."
 The boot loader expects the root partition to be on ad4.
 
 Solution:
 Set in KT7 board bios: boot sequence: EXT/ATA, C, A
 During the ten second countdown to kernel loading, push any key
 other than enter.  Upon showing a prompt, type:
 lsdev
 (look through each device and find the root partition)
 set currdev="disk4sxxxx"  (depending on the location of your root partition)
 boot
 
 In the future, please search -questions archives first.  In addition,
 please set currdev in /boot/loader.conf
