I'll try lowering the speed and i will also try another drive if i can find one. I also tried 8.0-current bootcd and that lists the dvd-rom and the floppy but none of the disks. There's another four x225:s at work but they all have lsi-controllers. I was really looking forward to using the hotswap.. Thank you for your replies, i hope you can help me fix this eventually
Ok, so 8-CURRENT boots? There have been modifications to the boot loader, I think they will be present in 7.1.
The controller is a different problem - apparently the driver doesn't recognize it. There are a few things you can try but all of them depend on that you can compile and boot a different kernel on the machine (i.e. different from what's on the official CDs). If you can do this (for example, by installing a test system on a drive on a different, supported controller, or possibly on a USB drive), ask on hardware@ mailing list for further instructions.
