Subject:   Problems with PCI RAID installation on FreeBSD 4.8

Hi,
I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.8 onto an Intel ISP2150 that I have ripped =

the SCSI cabling and boards from in place of a PCI RAID system. All seems=20
to have gone well and I can boot and configure the RAID card locally=20
(4x80GB). However, FreeBSD insists in seeing the RAID (supposedly striped=20
and mirrored) as 4 separate disks... ad4 -> 7.

Is this correct? Do I need to change something here in FreeBSD as I can't=20
see anything obvious in the docs or from searching the web on this?

If I continue the installation FreeBSD asks me to choose one of the disks=20
it sees for the install and seemingly ignores the others. The geometry=20
displayed during the install is correct on a per disk basis (i.e. it shows=20
80 not 160....).

BTW, I'm not subscribed so please CC me on any reply....


cheers,
Chris R.
