After installing FreeNAS to a USB stick, the system starts up initialises services, does a bunch of 'stuff' (to much stuff on the screen moving too quickly for me to see), and then after about 5 minutes of doing whatever it is doing - it reboots.

I have tried using 4 different USB sticks (both for the ISO image, and as the target for the installation).

I have tried installing both the 9.3 Stable and 9.3.1 nightly builds, but I get the same result on both. Note that attempting to install the same iso in VMWare, worked without a problem.

Hardware
Motherboard = Supermicro X8DTI-F (inc IPMI and 2x GBe - flashed to latest bios)
CPU = 2x Intel Xeon CPU E5520 @ 2.27Ghz (Quad core Hyperthreaded - 2.53ghz Turbo)
Memory = 48GB (12x 4GB sticks of ECC DDR3-1066 Kingston KVR1066D3D4)
RAID card = 3ware 9650SE-8LPML
Drives: 6x WD3000HLFS (300GB) WD VelociRaptor 10k
Additional Network: 2x Intel Pro/1000 MT Dual Port NICs

I have tried removing the additional network cards and the 3ware card, but it had no effect.

The attached file is the last thing I see on the screen before the reboot.

Yeah the RAID card came with the server. I'd figure I'd try to get the server up and running with some test hardware before transferring all my hard drives over. If the 3ware card isn't going to work, it's no biggie, I'll just use the onboard sata for the time being.
