Hi all,

Just a quick note to let you know that the FreeBSD 5.3-BETA3 cd panic's
a Dell 1850. These machines have the new Perc 4e/Si Raid controller. If
the card is in either "RAID Enabled" or "SCSI Enabled" mode in the BIOS
the machine panics booting the installation CD. If this Perc 4e card is
disabled the CD boots into sysinstall just fine.

If anybody wants any further debugging done please let me know.
