I have run linux for several years now and have created some fairly large systems that have been very stable by my standards which may not be FreeBSD standards but much better than a Win box. But I have always wanted to set up a freebsd system and make it a monster too. Well I finally am getting my chance, I got a 9 disk 3u rackmount with an Intel mb that will hold a pair of pIII 1.26mhz processors, with 2GB ram. I ordered a 3ware 7850 (8 port ata 100) and plan on putting in 8 160GB Maxtor's (raid 5) and a 120 GB Maxtor on the mb ide interface for the boot disk with a slim cd and floppy. Since this is my first freebsd install, is there anything in particular I should look out for? Will the install see the 3ware raid card? Will FreeBSD see the large drives ok (something linux has trouble with) Also any tips that might make this monster easier to install. I have queried several things on google and haven't found any definite answers to these questions. Wayne R.
