I want to be able to check the status of the drives, without booting into the bios. Also, how do I handle the hot swap if that situation arises? My relevant configuration information: Adaptec 2010S Raid 1 with two Seagate 36GB Ultra 320 Drives Supermicro 6023P-8R SuperServer FreeBSD 4.9R Thanks -Michael
