What I mean was that on boot, the system sees the two drives and says they're a raid 1. No errors are displayed at boot other than it prompting me for a mount point. I'm totally baffled as there is nothing else to help me figure this out. I thought it might be a boot manager issue, so I tried installing with the three different options for boot managers. All that being said, the '/' slice is just on the 18GB mirrored drive. I was hoping maybe someone had experience with a Dell 1500SC, or something very similar.
