da0 and da1 are local disks
da2-da4 contain VMS data
da5 is the new LUN on which I want to install fbsd.
All filesystem information written successfully.
Then the system reboots
Perhaps this is not supposed to work anyway?

ok, the previous error was from 8.0 snapshot from Summer 2009.
with FreeBSD-8.0-STABLE-201002-ia64-disc1.iso

remembered about hw.ata.atapi_dma=0
so moved one step further and the installation went fine until
the end.

Now I can't find the boot disk in the efi boot manager:

It should be the third device on the list, but it give the above "no files found"
message.

many thanks
