hmm ...
Well, if I interrupt the boot and type lsdev at the "ok" prompt, I get:
disk @ 0x10918
disk0: BIOS Drive A:
disk0a: FFS 2MB (0-5760)
[etc]
disk2: BIOS Drive C:
disk2s1: ext2fs 23MB (63-48195)
[other slices]
disk3: BIOS Drive D:
disk3s1: ext2fs 10024MB (62-20531070)
[second slice]
pxe @ 0xef70
ok
So the drives are being seen by the kernel, but not the install. :/
Will I still have to install on a single drive, or is this sufficient
information to help?
thanks,
Graham
