Hi, thanks for your input. I have an idea. Would the answer be to install the OS to a SD card, boot from that then use GPT or ZFS to see the drive once the OS is installed? What i mean is, the disks are attached to the SATA raid card. if I don't select any disks in the raid, will they be seen by the OS? then I could just use zfs for raid functionality. Freebsd 8 sees the card, just not the disks. The server has a sd slot. Maybe this is what it's for? -- John - comp dot john at googlemail dot com OpenBSD firewall | FreeBSD desktop | Ubuntu Karmic laptop GPG: 0xF08A33C5 _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
