}All of the RAID adapters we support are bootable.  The #1 cause of 
}booting problems is a geometry mismatch.  The integrated RAID controller 
}in the 2450 is supported by 'aac', which has three geometry options:
}
}'2GB' mode: */255/63
}'1GB' mode: */128/32
}standard:    */64/32
}
}The driver picks this setting up from the controller; if there is already 
}data on the disks, sysinstall may be confused into using a different 
}geometry.

the problem i have is that after installing a boot/mbr/dd or whatever, the BIOS
gets stuck, it never got to the boot part.
