Hi!

I used the 8.0-BETA4 amd64 bootonly CD to boot a FSC RX330 S1 server
which has a built-in LSI megaraid.

I sucessfully installed 7.2-i386 on that same hardware before.
The resulting dmesg.boot can be found at
http://www.nepustil.net/support/tmp/dmesg.boot-7.2-i386

The error in the FreeBSD Disklabel Editor (when I used "w" to
trigger the necessary newfs calls) was:

  Unable to find device node for /dev/mfid0s1b in /dev
  The Creation of filesystems will be aborted.

Using an emergency shell, I typed:

cd /dev
echo *

and found only the following device nodes:

  mfi0
  mfid0
  mfid0s1
  mfid0s2

but no mfid0s1a, 1b, ...

Something is going wrong, any ideas ?

Thanks!
