Hello again,
I apologise for not posting dmesg earlier. You will see I am booting
off the RAID5 array for now, while I try to sort this out.
Turns out aacd0 is not listed either :(
Are there any clues here that I am not seeing?
Thanks for all your help so far

HostRAID arrays are not supported by FreeBSD - it requires a software

Hi all,
I am fighting the following hardware:
MB: ASUS p5b-plus (NON vista edition)
Cpu: Core 2 duo 4600
SCSI Card: Adaptec 39320 (Unused Dell OEM bought from ebay)
HDDs: 2xSeagate Cheetah 73.4 GB Ultra320 SCSI (posibly Dell OEM)
Nb. The MB does not support PCI-X, but is backwards compatible
HDDs: 2xSeagate Cheetah 73.4 GB Ultra320 SCSI
That system looks like you have only SCSI disks. These are listed as
da0 and da1. Is the installer having trouble accessing the disks? I'm
not sure I see the error.

Hi Derek,
As mentioned in my post, I have configured the Adaptec BIOS

Common problem. The issue isn't that the FreeBSD driver cannot talk
to the SATA controller. It can do that just fine.
The problem is that HP is using a modified metadata format on the

You can use the rebuild command also on non-raid controllers, at least
