FreeBSD is the ONLY OS on the system. My server has a DPT Raid controller with 6 2GB drives in a RAID 5 configuration. I've checked the boot sector after the install and there is only one partition identified. This is the partition entry: 80 01 01 00 A5 35 E0 FF 20 00 00 00 A0 5B 75 02 However, when I read the cyl/head/sector that the partition is looking at, the OS boot software is not present. Do you have any idea where the OS is being copied or what I might be doing wrong?
