 I am running a SuperMicro P4SCT+ motherboard with an Intel 6300ESB SATA
 controller. I encountered the same problems -- when I enable RAID in the
 bios, FreeBSD fails to find the hard drives.
 
 I disabled RAID and installed FreeBSD 5.2.1. I then enabled RAID in the
 bios but did not set up any RAID drives. I booted from the hard drive and
 FreeBSD started loading, but then hung at:
 
 Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
 setrootbyname failed
 ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp
 Root mount failed: 6
