FreeBSD 6 (or 7) on a HP DL140 G3 SATA

[Peter Losher]

Just got my hands on a HP DL140 G3 (generation 3) server, which has a
LSI Logic SAS controller.  You can run the live CD or install FreeBSD
(6.2-RC1 or 7-CURRENT) onto the HD's, but when you boot from the disks,
the boot loader barfs:

int=0000000d  err=0000001a  efl=00030287  eip=0000291d
eax=1400000a  ebx=00000b3e  ecx=00000000  edx=0000c900
esi=00000d1c  edi=00000001  ebp=00000206  esp=00000200

Here is the relevant BIOS output from the controller:

Has anyone gotten one of these to run FreeBSD from the HD's successfully?

Best Wishes - Peter
