I'd like to install stable directly onto a 6Tb Areca array, and have run out of clues how to do it. In the past I've always used a separate boot volume that was small enough for sysinstall to work with, but I have no space to fit more drives in this chassis. I've tried putting a small partition on the start, which boots fine, but screws up the disk sizing as the geometry is wrong I guess? tried diskprep, but that gets the gemometry wrong as well. Is the only option to use gpt and restore to it from another boot device and hope that the bios can boot it? Lawrence Farr EPC Direct Limited
