A while ago I was trying to setup FreeBSD 4.6 on a machine with a Promise FastTrak100 TX2 "RAID" card. On the original box I was trying to do the setup on, sysinstall picked up ar0 _and_ ad4 (I think it was, from memory, anyway), so I got the selection box to choose what disk I wanted to fdisk and disklabel. I installed to ar0 and ignored ad4, but during trying to install files to it, sysinstall threw up gzip errors and the install bombed out. I gave up fiddling and moved the RAID card etc into another box. This time, sysinstall only picked up ar0, I installed to it, and everything went smoothly. Is there any likelihood this could somehow be related...? -Antony To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
