I have a new system put together (see below). In booting it up for the first
time, it hangs.
I'm booting from a FreeBSD 7.0 distribution on a USB drive.
Here are the messages, in part...

There is no RAID card. Everything is on the motherboard.

Another item of curiosity...
I just now tried booting from a CentOS 5.2 DVD. It also hangs with a little
window titled "Loading SCSI driver" that says "Loading ahci driver..." The
funny thing is, I've tried turning off all RAID functionality in the BIOS.
On my mobo, this entails setting it to I

Tried it. Didn't work.

"he". Are you not talking to me any more?
Anyway, what is this atapicam option.

I'm currently looking for an ATX motherboard that supports the AM2+ socket,
Phenom Quad-Core processor, 4 DDR2 RAM slots (800 MHz is fine), 6 SATA ports
with RAID, and Gigabit LAN. Onboard VGA would be nice.
It needs to work well with FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE, using a 2-disk SATA RAID1.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I do not need HTPC quality video and sound

I need help with this. I'm trying to create a software RAID1. I followed
the instructions in man page

In my research and unwitting trials with this particular motherboard
(Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H), I found that, while it is generally well tolerated
by FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE, the onboard RAID is completely incompatible. Even
when a RocketRAID 3120 card was used, the RAID could be built, but the ar0
