>Description:
FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE cannot boot from Promise Supertrak SX6000. As far as I understand, it's boot2 problem (or Promise Supertrak doesn't emulate BIOS calls properly enough). I've tried all three boot configurations for SuperTrak, without any success.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install FreeBSD on Promise Supertrak SX6000-controlled RAID and try to boot from it
>Fix:
At least, it should be noted in manual pages explicitly.
