I have a running FreeBSD 5.4 installation on SunFire amd 64 v20 dual cpu.... I know its not same, but the scsi disk detected and is performing fine.
Regarding the partition, I have noticed that if you partition /boot on seperate partition then the boot fails(this is comman for any intel or amd make)
can u check dmesg for any errors.
Cheers,
Deepak Naidu.

Hi,
yesterday I tried to install FreeBSD 5.4-amd64 on a Sun Fire v40z.
Installation works fine, it finds any hardware and I'm able to
configure any setting.
The problem occurs when server is booting. I get a black screen and
the server reboot automatically.
Server has 4 processors AMD Opteron 850 and 2 scsi hard disk 73GB.
I tried to:
- use only a disk, the problem is the same
- install both "Standard boot" and "FreeBSD Boot Manager", the
problem is the same.
I noticed in FDisk that, after the installation, the freebsd slice
lost "bootable" property.
Please, could someone help me?
Thanks in advance,
Matteo
