I have a number of SCSI drives kicking around, some of which are in CCD arrays at the moment, I would _love_ to boot to a ccd array, but I guess that's not going to happen for a while... :-( Is there anyway I can have a really small boot partition, enough to bring up a 'ccd-aware' kernel, and config any ccd's, and then re-mount things like '/usr', '/var' etc. off the CCD array once it's available? (This would have to be done real early I guess before the system starts 'coming up' properly - so it can get to the _real_ config files off the CCD's... If theres a better way of achieving this - please let me know... ;-) I mostly use CCD's to get the speed - rather than safety... ;-) Regards, Karl Pielorz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
