Problem solved, the Promise controller was the reason for that abnormal rebooting within the BTX loader...
disabling it for installation worked fine.... after installation, enabling the Promise Controller again did also work, FreeBSD is handling the mirrored disks correctly....
Cheers... now it's time for a beer =)

I've tried to install several releases of FreeBSD, 5.2.1 Release and the 5.3 RC1, but after some lines of boot initialisation, the machine just reboots without any further notice....

I've searched the available mailinglists, but because the mainboard is quite new,
I couldn't find anything related...
Doe's anyone has any suggestions for solving that problem ?
Could it be just a DVD ROM problem with Freebsd ? (I've read something about some incompatibalities...)
(although Knopix boots correctly from that DVD ROM and can handle both processors...)

Thanxs in advance !
PS: I'd like to thank you all for supporting FreeBSD, it's just the BEST OS ever build ! =)
