On one of my systems BIOS only allows access to the first four HDDs in the BIOS' boot priority list. What's especially annoying is that BIOS keep rearranging boot list every time new device is added or removed or if SATA controller card is moved to another slot. Every time it happens I have to go back and rearrange the drives so that my RAIDZ drives are on top of the list. If you can boot off CD or USB how many drives does bootloader report just before it gets to the menu? --Artem
