Believe it or not, but of the 15-20 machines I've installed FreeBSD
on, this was the first time I actually tried booting from the CD-ROM.
In fact this is one of the first servers that actually has one.
I think I'm going to put the boot hard drive on that controller and
pull a DPT RAID controller off the shelf for the data drives. This
brings up a short question, is anyone running a DPT controller? If
so, how did you establish the array without any FreeBSD native
support?
Also, the problem I was describing before that prevented a rawhide
boot from disk. Are we positive that this problem is with the boot
loader? What would be the best idea for debugging this? Pepper it
with a pile of debugging "printf" statements?
