I am attempting to install 4.5-release on a box that has the following configuration: mylex acceleraid 250(latest sw/fw/bios), (3) 9GB Seagate ST39102LW drives, mylex bios geometry set to 2GB. The array consists of all 3 drives and there is 1 logical drive created that I believe is 24GB. From sysinstall fdisk I choose 'A' entire disk, which creates a small area at the front of the drive, the large data area, then a small area at the end of the drive. Note that I do not get any warning/notice about dangerously dedicated. Disk is labeled with the first partition being the root partition and the size being 150MB. The install completes successfully and upon reboot, booting off the newly created disk, I get 'Operating system missing'. I attemped putting the controller and the drives in some other systems with the same results. I also attempted to install the freebsd boot manager, which yields a 'F1' and then just beeps when you press F1. Making it appear that the MBR cannot run the second stage of the booting process. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks, Blake -- - A. Blake Cooper <blake@cluebie.net> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
