Greetings all, =20 =20 I have 4 ES-40 servers in my company and all of them have 4 x 500 Mhz = CPUs and memory from 4 Gb to 6 Gb RAM each. =20 They have 4 Qlogic SCSI adapters and a Mylex DAC960 bundled with the = server for a disk shelf configured for RAID-5. =20 I read that FreeBSD can boot from a raid volume on these controllers but I=B4ve been trying to install FreeBSD since 4.8 on these servers without = no success. =20 I can boot the install cd, it finds the mylex, shows the raid volume but when I start the installation to create a slice, it says that no disks = where found on the system. =20 On this list, there is anyone with a similar server and installed = FreeBSD with success??? I don=B4t want to put a system disk on a Qlogic = controller just to boot and I really want to use the raid volume from the Mylex. =20 Can anyone help me on this issue??? I can also make any tests for the community on these machines. =20 =20 Thanks in advance, =20 =20 Alessandro.
