Now for some stupid questions... I already have the machine set up with two arrays: 2 - 2GB Drives in RAID 1 and Six 4.5GB Drives in RAID 5. I have a CAM boot floppy for the 7-12-98 Snapshot, which cannot access the array to install. I know there used to be a boot floppy for the DPT controller, but I do not see it in the /floppies directory or a link to one when searching the mailing list archives. Is there a place I can download a floppy or has instructions to make it myself? Thanks.
