Kilbride >Release: 5.2 >Organization: Sapient Systems Laboratories >Environment: Not applicable (cannot boot) >Description: The FreeBSD bootloader is incapable of reading from an Intel ICP Vortex RAID controller. Booting from CD-ROM allows a kernel with the appropriate driver (iir) to load, and installation then proceeds to the array without problem. On reboot, the bootloader complains that it cannot read "/boot/loader" and it makes no difference what partitioning scheme/boot block is used. >How-To-Repeat: Boot from CD-ROM. Install to RAID array using iir driver. Reboot machine. >Fix: Unknown >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
