I picked up one of these and would like to run FreeBSD this beast.

While people on this list might or might not have ideas about what to
try, -questions or -stable is the proper forum.
If you have specific experiences with FreeBSD on this hardware, I'm
sure people on -smp would love to hear about it.
At any rate, people who are able to help you will probably require a
more detailed failure description.

The BTX loader fails right after the initial setup screen. I press any
option except install prompt and it fails.
I have :
Gateway ALR 9200
4 processor xeon 500's
1 gig ram
1 adaptec 3200S scsi card running modified raid 5
6 drives. 2 sets of striped 3 and mirrored.
I am having a difficult time finding anything that will load in
this box.
I prefer FreeBSD if possible. I've googled for a couple days and
didn't find
much help.
Can someone help me get past this first hurdle?
The OS I am loading is currently FreeBSD 5.3
I went to adaptec and found some information about FreeBSD 4.11 and
tried
that version as well.
I can get Solaris 10 to load but it fails to find the raid as a
valid drive.
Fedora Core 2 also boots and says it can't find a drive.
The Raid boots up fine and builds with no faults.
I have an adaptec driver for FeeBSD but I need to install enough OS to
pkg_add the file.
When I install a little 850 meg IDE drive and set that to master,
Still the
btx loader dies. Here is what the final screen says:

I think I copied all that correctly.
Has anyone got a quick idea why this fails right off?
