AFAIK, your RocketRAID should be picked up by the 'twe' driver.

If you run a FreeBSD install disk (as opposed to boot-only), are you
provided with an install location (via sysinstall) as far as hard disks
are concerned?

Is this RAID array something that you can afford to risk losing through
troubleshooting?

I haven't tried an install disk yet, just the boot-only.  I will try that
right away.

This system is so spankin' new, there's nothing loaded on it.  This RAID
array is just something I setup in the BIOS.  It's not even been
initialized yet...because I can't even load the OS to install anything.


Well, still no joy.  :-(

I have tried booting from Boot-only, Disc1, LiveFS.  Additionally, I've
tried the default boot, "with ACPI disabled", "Safe Mode", "single user
mode", and "verbose logging".

Every CD and every boot type gives me the exact same errors...

at the beginning:
...
acpi0: reservation of fee00000, 1000 (3) failed
acpi0: reservation of 0, a0000 (3) failed
acpi0: reservation of 100000, c7f00000 (3) failed

and at the end:
...
hptrr: no controller detected.
acd0: DVDROM <SAMSUNG DVD-ROM SD-616F/F104> at ata0-master UDMA33
acd0: FAILURE  READ_BIG MEDIUM ERROR asc=0x11 ascq=0x00
GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider acd0 is iso9660/FreeBSD_xxx (where xxx is the
disc I'm using).
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG MEDIUM ERROR asc=0x11 ascq=0x00
*** HANG ***

BTW, the *** HANG *** requires a hard reset.

Also, I read some hearsay in other forums that the READ_BIG error could be
caused by the write speed when the ISO is burned to CD.  So, I tried
downgrading the burn speed from 52x to 16x.  No joy.  It didn't change a
thing.
disable dma specifically by escaping to the loader prompt and type
hw.ata.atapi_dma=0
you can also try loading the device as a "scsi" device with atapicam.
you could make this static on your iso by editing the loader.conf on the iso.
