If your r210 has a h200 RAID card, then it is *not* supported in the 8.2 iso images. It is supported through the mps driver in 8.2-RELEASE though. You'll need to go in the RAID setup to destroy the logical device. Next, you'll need to download Martin Matuska's MFSBSD and rebuild it with the 8.2-RELEASE sources to include the mps driver in the kernel. Once you've booted from that, you'll be able to see your hard drives as /dev/da0 and /dev/da1 You will have to create a software RAID using either gmirror or ZFS, and install the OS on your mirror. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
