The install CD detects the array and I can partition, label, and install 5.3-BETA2 through the post- install configuration. However, when I reboot, the OS tells me, something to the effect, "OS not found". I've tried installing the FreeBSD boot manager, a standard boot record, and to leave the MBR untouched. I've also tried 4.9-RELEASE just to see if there was a problem with 5.3-BETA2. No matter what I try, I cannot get the Compaq BIOS to recognize the OS I just installed on the drive array. I must be missing something obvious, but googling and perusing the archives hasn't helped. Thanks for your assistance... Doug __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
