FreeBSD 7.0 64 bits or 32 bits not installing on Dell PowerEdge SC1435

[Jonas Lund]

There's probably something with the controller then. If you're not
proficient with C code and debugging i guess the easiest solution
would be to report it and wait for 7.1 or see the release notes for
supported controllers and connect your disks through that, not ideal
but if you're desperate it's a way :)

Seeing how it actually works on earlier releases and touches on some
quite basic functionality it should be a fairly highly rated bug once
it gets into the system IMHO.
