What you suggested worked -- I removed the SATA cables from both harddrives, and then was able to boot using the 7.0 BETA4 AMD64 LiveFS cd. It appears that the disk controller is not the problem. It is recognized by FreeBSD as (hand copied): atapci0: Promise PDC20579 SATA150 controller port 0xd200-0xd27f,0xd300-0xd3ff mem 0xf8236000-0xf8236fff,0xf820-0xf821 irq 19 at device 9.0 on pci0 Searching the dmesg, there are no other devices on irq 19. Not sure it matters, but one interesting thing is that the motherboard also has another SATA controller (irq 20 at device 15.0), which is: atapci1: VIA 6420 SATA150 controller Any ideas?

That's good to know about the VIA controller. I'm not quite ready to wipe my current disks yet, which I think I would have to do to switch RAID controllers, but may go that route in the future. I also confirmed I can install on a plain IDE harddrive, so may just do that for immediate testing.

Instant Reboot with 7.0 BETA4 LifeFS Disk
In testing my Windows desktop with the 7.0 LiveFS disk ( 7.0-BETA4-amd64-livefs.iso), I get an instant reboot when the CD is run.
