Option 6 for Freebsd boot up screen is "drop to boot commandline". It basically lets you set certain options so the system can load properly. I.E. it's running 100% off the CD at that moment and if you want to turn acpi off prior to boot you can. Fail because whatever Linux I try (I prefer FreeBSD) the OS can't see the raid as a valid drive. Each OS asks what drive to install to but when you look to choose which one the Raid is never in the list of option to begin loading on. > -----Original Message----- > From: Bruce Burden [mailto:brucegb@realtime.net] > Sent: Sunday, June 26, 2005 7:10 PM > To: nethaniel@box201.com > Cc: questions@freebsd.org; hardware@freebsd.org; 'Bob Bomar' > Subject: Re: RAID Cards > > On Sun, Jun 26, 2005 at 12:21:02PM -0600, nethaniel@box201.com wrote: > > I can say my experience with adaptec 3200s cards has not been the most > > fruitful.
