Please see the below thread.  Do not let the subject stop you from
reading it.

I still can't find a present-day RELENG_7 SNAPSHOT that I can tell
people to download.  There isn't one in the snapshots/200803/ directory
past March 14th, and the snapshots/2008/04/ directory only contains
snapshots for ia64 and powerpc.

I'm left to believe David Overton built his own ISO.  It sounds as if
you may have to do the same.

And I can't explain what GRUB is doing.

HDD`s (2 x 250G) are connected to Parallel ATA on ServerWorks CSB5 controller (it`s not onboard controller). When I connected drives to onboad controller they got some problem with DMA TIMEOUT.

Not enough information to help debug this, but DMA timeouts are a known
problem right now, regardless of controller:

Scott Long may be able to help track this problem down for you, but more
details are needed.

PS: Is there any way how to debug Bootloader?

Debugging the bootstraps is an incredibly tedious process at this point.
No, it's not easy.


Hi

I`ve flashed to the latest "rompaq" (aka bios on Compaq :D), and now freebsd sees LSI raid controller (really don`t know why it didn`t saw it before upgrade). Also I set disk sizes to 130GB (went down from 250G). After installation BTX loads /boot/loader just fine. But thanks for your ideas.

Best regards
