DL380 stalls at F1/F10 prompt

I have two DL380's with both with Smart Array controllers, and 3rd party 
SATA controllers installed.

Both servers have been setup to use the Smart Array as the first boot 
device in the system configurations.

I have installed FreeBSD 6.2 with the root, swap, and var partitions on 
the Smart Array's logical drive

But when it boots, it gets the stage where it shows the following prompt:

Press "F1" key to continue
       "F10" key for System Partition Utilities


and just stops, any ideas?  is there a setting I am missing somewhere?

or could it be that the 3rd party controllers are confusing it?

One is a Western Digital SATA controller, and other is a Sis Ultra ATA 
controller

Thanks
Jeff
