I have a DELL 6350 that has an on-board Adaptec 7890 (LVD) controller. I've installed a secondary controller (2940U2W LVD) to connect the external PowerVault disk array. When I go to install, it selects drive 0 of the array to begin. This is not the desired behavior. It then generates multiple errors about "invalid argument" when adding the swap partition to those external drives. So, I had to cancel the installation. I have to get this machine up and running today, and I'd appreciate any help. Thanks. _F To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
