hmm ... Well, if I interrupt the boot and type lsdev at the "ok" prompt, I get: disk @ 0x10918 disk0: BIOS Drive A: disk0a: FFS 2MB (0-5760) [etc] disk2: BIOS Drive C: disk2s1: ext2fs 23MB (63-48195) [other slices] disk3: BIOS Drive D: disk3s1: ext2fs 10024MB (62-20531070) [second slice] pxe @ 0xef70 ok So the drives are being seen by the kernel, but not the install. :/ Will I still have to install on a single drive, or is this sufficient information to help? thanks, Graham On Mon, Feb 05, 2001 at 12:31:48PM -0500, Matthew Emmerton wrote: > > I'm trying to install on a dell poweredge 2450 with the AIC-7899 > > controller in RAID 5 mode.
