>Description:
I am trying to install FreeBSD on a customer's machine which has a Dell Powervault 745N.

He has some funny SCSI RAID controller.

He only wants to use it as a mail server but I can't get past it trying unsuccessfully to find the disk drives.

Do you know anything about this?

I've tried various versions of Linux too with similar lack of success.
