I have FreeBSD installed on my machine, and need to add a RAID to it. Apparently, the problem is that the device id's are being assigned incorrectly upon booting, because the machine boots just fine with nothing plugged into the secondary SCSI controller (aha2940 I believe... it sees the drives okay in any event, so I doubt that's the problem). When I plug in the RAID, the BIOS sees the drives just fine, FreeBSD recognizes the drives correctly, but I get a "panic: cannot mount root" at the very end, which leads me to believe that it's assigning the devices incorrectly, and thinks that the first SCSI drive in the RAID is the root filesystem. I assume I'll have to hard-code in the devices, so everything gets assigned in a consistent manner, but I'm not sure, and am not clear on how to do this anyway (and don't want to waste my time playing around with it if this isn't going to solve the problem). With the RAID plugged in, sysinstall sees *only* the first four drives in the RAID (on the _secondary_ controller card), but unplugged it sees the three internal drives (primary card). Any ideas, or details on what additional information I should provide to somebody assisting me with this? This is a dual pentium-pro 200mhz with 200M ram (waiting for 3.0 to enable SMP support), with a 4-Gig internal boot, 2 9-Gig internal (ccd works fine for them) drives, and 5 2-Gig drives (in a RAID cabinet) hooked into the secondary controller card (everything SCSI). This machine will be used as a secondary machine for our web site, probably spitting out around 100,000 pages per day (if it keeps pace with it's twin) -- which is why we're using FreeBSD rather than NT.
