Sounds like u have followed the install guide with the drivers.
I couldn't get that to work ( without ACPI ) I had to install with
ACPI but this was 5.4-RELEASE but using the 5.3 driver from
highpoints site as there wasn't a 5.4 driver available.
1. Boot from cd
2. got to boot prompt, load the driver from floppy
3. unplug the floppy ( must to this as floppy under amd64 is
broken )
4. boot the kernel and install.

Notes:
1. I was using a RAID 5 array 5 disks * 400Gb.
2. Create the array using 16 k stripe or the performance will be
poor.

I am instalaling FreeBSD 5.3 AMD 64 bit with 6- 200GB drives. Using Higpoint 1820A controller and doing RAID 10. I am using drivers for the card from Highpoint Web.

The problem is when I make the partitions and the machine tries to format the partitions it says:

unable to find device node for /dev/da0s1b under /dev!

and then it comes out.

Any ideas what is going on. Also tried making two slices no luck.

Hi all,

Ok, The 3ware and Highpoint works fine with 4GB of RAM. But I can hook another 4GB wiht 3ware and it works fine wiht 8GB but thats not the case for Highpoint.
Highpoint dont work with installation of 4GB and then inserting 4GB.
And it works fine wiht ACPi disables and floppy is present.

Aman
