This is the first time I am using raid on a FreeBSD box but I was under the impression that things shouldn't really be any different. I created a stripe set/logical drive from two 36gb drives. Booted from CD (4.4) and the install went great since the Mylex is supported in the Generic kernel. Rebooted and I get "Missing Operating System". I assumed this was some sort of a bios problem so I tried again in a newer box (IBM MPro) and still no joy. Next I dropped the Raids logical drive size down to 1Gig and this time I installed the FreeBSD boot manager rather than using "standard". Now I get the boot menu and the F1 choice is FreeBSD but all pressing F1 results in is beeping. Anyone have any pointers for me?
