Here is additional information from when I had to SI my Compaq server with a CCISS subsystem for the drives...
Devices used for imaging... >From autoinstallscript ---Lines from creating the partitions... parted -s -- /dev/cciss/disc0/disc print ---Lines from making the file systems... mke2fs -j /dev/cciss/disc0/part3 || shellout Devices used in fstab after imaging to allow for grub and other utils to work properly. >From /etc/fstab /dev/cciss/c0d1p1 /export/ftp ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/cciss/c0d2p1 /export/archives ext3 defaults 1 2 Notice the partitions are reference COMPLETELY different in the autoinstall script and then after the reboot. This is due to driver versions for the cciss driver being different. Hope this helps out some.
