I am obviously doing something wrong which is causing difficulty installing freebsd 4.7 in the following circumstances: Quad Processor Compaq Proliant with 3200 Raid (2 Channel LVD/SE Scsi Array Controller) Prior to installing FreeBSD using the Compaq SmartStart utility I created a raid (Array A) on the first raid channel using four physical drives each of 18.2G using RAID 5. Array A is divided into 11 logical Drives each with the following number of 512 sectors: Logical #1,8,10 ------4194240 Logical #2,7------- 8364000 Logical #3,4------- 16776960 Logical #5--------- 2097120 Logical #6--------- 6291360 Logical #9--------- 8380320 Logical#11-------- 27050400 The 11 logical drives reported by Compaq Raid Controller on POST and no errors are reported when Compaq Array Diagnostic Utility is run. On Boot up using FreeBSD 4.7 CD FreeBSD Reports drives A thru J In the FreeBSD select drives drives utility the following drives are identified: idad0, 4194240 Sectors (2047MB) idad1, 8364000 Sectors (4083MB) idad2, 16776960 Sectors (8191MB) idad3 16776960 Sectors (8191MB) None of the other logical drives are identified by the install utility. Whilst it may only be a coincidence it seems odd that FreeBSDis only "seeing" the first logical raid partitions and that there are four physical drives. Do I need some kind of driver installed so that FreeBSD can recognize the logical raid partitions?
