The 2200S in the box besides me is in the process of building
a 20 GByte RAID 5 volume ("build/verify"-method).
Booting -current (a rather old [ca. 2003/03] snapshot install
 cd) fails. The kernel freezes  after announcing the presence
of the raid-volume and two error messages:

| [...]

| aac0: i960RX 100MHz, 48MB cache memory, optional battery present

I hope, that I get a fresh -current on my test machine, to
provide further testing information.

Booting from a 2003/09/13 current-snapshot-cd yields nearly the
same result.
