I have a PC164 (no suffix) running 4.11 and I want to put one of my collection of DEC KZPAC (DAC960) raid controllers into it and upgrade to 5.4. Will a KZPAC boot on a PC164? The FreeBSD hardware notes are obscure on this point: they seem to say that genuine DAC 960 will NOT boot but can be used for other disks but there is a footnote suggesting that a KZPAC will boot on some systems. Anybody know for sure? I administer various DS20's and AlphaServer 4100's who are happy to boot Tru64 off a KZPAC but I don't know about a PC164. -- Richard Loken VE6BSV, Systems Programmer - VMS : "Anybody can be a father Athabasca University : but you have to earn Athabasca, Alberta Canada : the title of 'daddy'" ** richardlo@admin.athabascau.ca ** : - Lynn Johnston
