I'm not sure of the exact ServeRaid controller model -- it's
probably a 6M or the model right below that (if there is such a
thing!).

Did you have to do any magic besides what you send in the url?

Also, slightly offtopic for this group, but I've seen an x345 dual
processor "freeze" after a brand new installation once the console
comes up. Going into single-user mode makes things freeze when the
prompt for what shell I'd like to use comes up.

I'll try it in about 12 hours :)
