We have the server with mainboard E7520 Master Series MS-9136 SSI Server Board with Dual Intel Xeon 2,8 MHz, two HDD SCSI 73Gbyte (without RAID controller) and one HDD IDE 120Gbyte. We have some problems to install the operating system FreeBSD 5.x. We trying install the operating system FreeBSD 5.x, but the installing program don't see the SCSI and IDE discs. There is an infinite search of parameters of the SCSI drive, but don't finish it, and don't begin the tuning of the kernel parameters.
First, make sure you are using FreeBSD 5.4. Second, try updating your BIOS on the motherboard and on your SCSI card, often this may help.
You may have to adjust some BIOS settings, so experiment. In particular, what you want is for the BIOS to recognize your devices and assign them as drive C: (0x80), D: (0x81), etc. If this doesn't happen, your MB may simply not deal with both SCSI and IDE being present at the same time. If so, try doing the install with just the IDE drive present.
For more help, it would be useful to know what your SCSI controller is and whether it is supported. Check the FreeBSD release notes.
