>Organization:
EIS
>Environment:
I'm using the boot CD iso available on your site. 
>Description:
I can boot into FreeBSD using the .iso available here: 

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/7.0/

I chose the boot only ISO. 

This ISO boots just fine when I don't have my SATA card installed, but halts on boot when I do install it. 

My PCI SATA Card is: 

Part Number: G61020000000016 (PROMISE TECHNOLOGY INC)

The website for the manufacturer and the product is here: 

http://www.promise.com/product/product_detail_eng.asp?product_id=191

Full Specifications: Promise Technology Promise FastTrak TX4650
Full Specs Type	Storage controller (RAID)
Interface Type	Serial ATA-300 / SAS
Required Slot Type	PCI Express x1
Form Factor	Plug-in card
Supported Devices	Hard drive, Disk array (RAID)
Manufacturer Part No.	FTTX4650
UPC	704118023011
Dimension	2.7 in x - x 4.4 in (HxWxD)

This card is quite inexpensive and I'm sure is quite popular.
