I got a Dell T110-II server on 2013-July-19. It has two 1Tbyte drives
that the PERC H200 controls, RAID 1. I tried to install
FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE from a DVD from FreebsdMall. The autopart segfaulted,
evidently because it could not find any disks. I think there is a PR
about the segfaulting (bad bug, no messages).
I worked around the problem by going to the loader prompt when the initial
boot choice screen came up; it's option 2. I gave the commands:
load mps.ko
boot
Install went fine. I had to create (last bsdinstall screen, shell option)
the file /boot/loader.conf, containing the single line:
mps_load="YES"
The system boots, and seems to be OK.
The 9.1-Release kernel does not contain the mps module, so the above
installs it, and the probe finds it as it should.
I hope this helps.
