The first screen the user is presented with, is where he/she gets to choose between configuring the kernel (in visual or CL mode) and continuing to boot. Pressing Alt-F2 on that screen causes a panic... Once you go through the partition submenu of "Custom", you can not get the list of available drives again. We had 4 drives in this machine and marked only one of them initially. Attempts to get the list again to partition another drive were just bringing us directly down to partitioning the drive we already partitioned (with dangerously allocated, BTW, it sucks, that one has to look around the sources and what not for this hidden option). The machine had the Promise Raid controler on board, which we chose not to use, by configuring each disk to be in the SPAN of its own. The install was giving us a choice of arX and adX devices duplicating the number of disks we had. We installed on the adX devices and everything seems fine, but having to choose between ad and ar would be confusing... (BTW, why does the device name for ATA RAID devices reminds one of the synchronous Digi/Arnet device driver so much? Do the ATA RAID devices have a man page of their own?) -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
