I don't think that any driver exists for the embedded SCSI controller on Proliant [124]000 machines. It's a long time since I looked at this, but far as I remember they use an NCR 53c7xx chipset for which no FreeBSD driver exists. There seems to be a Linux one but I don't wish to run that. > Here's more info on my setup.

I have no idea what sort of Ethernet NIC the NetFlex-2 really is and don't believe that there is any free Unix driver support for it. > Here is a snipit from the console > > eisa0:2 <3COM 3C579-BNC EISA Network Adapter> > eisa0:5 <CPQ6101=0xe116101> unknown device > eisa0:6 <CPQ4070=0xe114070> unknown device > eisa0:8 <CPQ4410=0xe114410> unknown device The eisa0:8 message is harmless. It's because the SMART controller driver dates from FreeBSD 2.1.0 and doesn't yet know about the current method for probing EISA slots. It needs an update to tidy it up but should be OK for now. > What else shoult I be looking for during the boot? > Should I try it WithOut the SMART array controller?? I don't think that would make a difference. David email: dwj@agw.bt.co.uk, phone: +44 171 250 6469, fax: +44 171 336 0214 post: pp8.5a, 207 Old Street, London EC1V 9PS, U.K.
