My understanding is that DRIVERS.TXT applies only to the additional driver floppy, and that all supported hardware is included with the installation floppies. The BIOS does indeed boot for the array, and the array is intact; can you think of anything else that would prevent the installation? The array also shows up as asr0 when /stand/sysinstall boots. ===== Rishi Chopra http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~rchopra __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
