We use the DPT on a linux box. We don't have any DOS partitions -- just make a DOS boot floppy. When you need to access the storage manager, boot from the floppy and put the storage manager disk in. It's a bit of a hassle that you can't access storage manager without bringing the machine down, but you will on;y need to do that *very* infrequently... --Mark On Thu, Feb 18, 1999 at 09:13:01AM -0000, Grant Beckerleg wrote: > Hello there, > Can anyone shed any light on the following > situation? > > I am in the process of experimenting with RAID and have built a > machine using a DPT 3334UW RAID controller and running FreeBSD3.0. > This DPT product comes with software, for building and managing RAID > array configurations, called Storage Manager. > > This software is not supplied with FreeBSD in mind and DPT's manual > suggests that a dos partition is used as the home of this software. > > We do not want FreeBSD3.0 running on top of dos. > > Has anyone had experience of this situation/software? > > As I am very new to FreeBSD I would be very happy if someone could > point me in the right direction. > > Rgds. > > Grant Beckerleg VBCnet GB Ltd http://www.vbc.net > tel +44 117 929 1316 fax +44 117 927 2015 > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
