Areca ARC-1120 on FreeBSD 7.0

[Andrew Hotlab]

Thanks for the suggestion, Mike. I've just tested both FreeBSD/amd64 6.3 and 7.0 releases with both 1.43 and 1.44 Areca firmware revisions, but nothing seems changed: 6.3 boots up, while 7.0 hangs! :(

You can confirm me that you are successfully using FreeBSD 7.0R with the 1.43 firmware? If it's so, we might compare our hardware components to find out if and what are differences...

Thanks a lot for your help.
