If you want to run 5.x on that system, your going to need to install FBSD 4.11 first, then do a source upgrade to 5.x. But you'll also need to replace the 5.x ATAng driver with the 6.x ATA-Mk III driver.
You'll need: The RELENG_5 Sources ATA MKiiin Sources & Patch files - http://people.freebsd.org/~sos/ATA/ata-mk3n-releng5.tar.gz - http://people.freebsd.org/~sos/ATA/ata-mk3n.diff-releng5.gz Then: - remove contents of /usr/src/sys/dev/ata/* - untar ata-mk3n-releng5.tar.gz in to /usr/src/ - appy the ata-mk3n.diff-releng5.gz patch to /usr/src - do usual build[world/kernel] - do an installkernel, and reboot the system - if it works, then installworld, otherwise let Soren Schmidt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> know.
