How can I do this if the systeem freezes???


Good old fashioned pen + paper (as long as it's not too long). Never 
fails.


Main problem is:
ad0: FreeBSD check1 failed

I googled but didn't find any solution.
Does anyone have a clue where to find the solution?

Take a photo and put it up somewhere (http://imagebin.ca/ if nowhere else).
If scroll lock still works, you can take pictures of earlier output (and
if caps/scroll/num lock don't work, that is a useful piece of information).

This is produced when the ATA subsystem is trying to read RAID
metadata off the disk and just means it failed to find any.  It's
not an error.  Can you post more context please.

 The system starts checking all hardware but freezes after finding the
 CD-ROM drives printing the GEOM_LABLE (on FB 7.0, not 6.4)
 (acd0)
 
 The hardware is a Targa Visonary 2700XP, AMD 2700+ CPU, mem 1 GB


Can you try to paste exactly what was on the screen before the freeze for
both 6.4 and 7.0?

Thanks.

Have you tried booting in verbose mode?
If so, does it give any further output after printing the GEOM_LABEL for
the other drives?

Have you tried disabling DMA or ACPI?

Verbose mode does not give much more information. It tells the info of the 
CD rom drives, after which it stops.

Strange thing is that installing ubuntu doesn't give any trouble.

Checking the hardware doesn't give any failures. Memory is OK.

Thanks for your time
Jack
