One thing I'm looking at is trying to get more speed out of this bloody thing by having it define multiple RAID-5 or RAID-0 devices, then doing software striping across them (it can't do this internally). So yes, in that configuration I would need multiple slices. > You might try the following: Go into the Adaptec BIOS with CTRL-A > and disable the 'include in BIOS scan' entry for every drive > except the boot drive.

I'll have to look again. > If you boot from da0 disable the entry > for all other drives on all controllers. As a result, you will > see only your boot drive being scanned during boot.
