It works with CHS value 0:0:33 The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 32, size 999392 (487 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1; end: cyl 487/ sector 32/ head 63 Is there a way to get the right geometry information for USB mass storage devices?

They have all a ServeRaid 6M controller because there is also a LTO drive connected. Works fine no problem. What kind of RAID solution are you having. We also have the EXP400 (very nice indeed!!). I should go for the 5.x Freebsd. 5.3 will be released very shortly. The ServeRAID cd works. If else you can configure RAID1 through the bios of the LSI controller.

I'm not sure of the exact ServeRaid controller model -- it's probably a 6M or the model right below that (if there is such a thing!). Did you have to do any magic besides what you send in the url?

The ips.h was wrong, so that the serveraid was not recoqnized. Use the latest 5.2 current and then updated to 5.2.1 release, will keeping the ips drivers from the current source. Also important is that the ips driver doesn't support the scsi pass-through bus. So if you use a tape drive (or LTO / DLTO etc) use the onboard controller (LSI). The ServerRAID 6M is a hell of a card, very fast in RAID 5!!.
