No sure I understand what you mean by "didn't try" - I have tried installing 
several BSD versions on this hardware all of which fail at the BTX loader, 
8.0, 7.2 and 6.4 as well as the 8.0 live CD and PCBSD.  I even used dd to 
image the drive directly from a known working image, same results.  Only 
thing I have got to run has been an older FreeSBIE live CD running BTX 
version 1.01.
