Hi, I've installed 4.3-RELEASE onto a system with a Mylex AcceleRAID 170. As I understand the 4.3 release notes, this card will work but can't be booted from. I didn't know this, and now need to come up with a workaround. My plan is to do something like put the loader onto a floppy and use that to boot from. Will this be able to load the kernel from the RAID array or do I need to have the kernel on the disk too? I presume I can just set rootdev=/dev/da0 in loader.conf to have the root fs set accordingly? -- Daniel Foster - daniel@34SP.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
