Anybody had any experience building a RAID 5 bootable FreeBSD system using an Arena Disk Array ??? I've basically got a AMD-K6-2-400 cpu with 256 MB ram. Adaptec 2940 Ultra/Ultra Wide SCSI card; no EIDE drives whatsoever. The Arena Disk Array is configured for SCSI termination enabled (no actual physical terminator used), SCSI ID 4, RAID 5, 5 disks plus spare, 32 GB reported as "available" at install time. Installing from CD rom , Freebsd 3.2 install looks fine all through install procedure... using 100MB /, 500 MB /usr, 200 MB /var and 768 MB swap (3xRAM), the rest assigned to /var/mail (its to be our mail server eventually) the install dies with error messages aboput "unable to create /mnt/usr" (or mnt/var etc etc etc) or something similar. No matter what size of swap or partition space I try it fails to install. Any ideas? I must be doing something fundamentally wrong.
