Hi,

I have a DIGITAL Server 5305 (AKA AlphaServer 1200) with a Mylex DAC960 Raid
controller, every time I try and install FreeBSD 4.8 on it comes up with an
error, mlx0: I/O error - attempt to write beyond end of drive.

I have tried to install FreeBSD 5.0 and 5.1 but there appears to be no
drivers for the controller included in the setup disks (kern and mfsroot), I
appears there are drivers in the drivers.flp but I have no idea how to load
them into the system.

I have tried using Raid 5 and also no raid (each disk is independent), Still
no lucky.

Can some please explain how to get round these problems.

Thanks,
Anthony.
