FreeBSD 5.4 on a Sun Fire v40z

[Deepak Naidu]

I have a running FreeBSD 5.4 installation on SunFire amd 64 v20 dual cpu....  I know its not same, but the scsi disk detected and is performing fine. 
 
Regarding the partition, I have noticed that if you partition /boot on seperate partition then the boot fails(this is comman for any intel or amd make)

can u check dmesg for any errors.
 
Cheers,
Deepak Naidu.

Hi,

yesterday I tried to install FreeBSD 5.4-amd64 on a Sun Fire v40z.
Installation works fine, it finds any hardware and I'm able to 
configure any setting.

The problem occurs when server is booting. I get a black screen and 
the server reboot automatically.
Server has 4 processors AMD Opteron 850 and 2 scsi hard disk 73GB.

I tried to:
- use only a disk, the problem is the same
- install both "Standard boot" and "FreeBSD Boot Manager", the 
problem is the same.

I noticed in FDisk that, after the installation, the freebsd slice 
lost "bootable" property.

Please, could someone help me?

Thanks in advance,
Matteo
