Hello,
I'm having a problem installing 5.3-BETA2 on this box with a Compaq
Integrated SMART Array Controller. The install CD detects the array
and I can partition, label, and install 5.3-BETA2 through the post-
install configuration. However, when I reboot, the OS tells me,
something to the effect, "OS not found".
I've tried installing the FreeBSD boot manager, a standard boot
record, and to leave the MBR untouched. I've also tried 4.9-RELEASE
just to see if there was a problem with 5.3-BETA2. No matter what
I try, I cannot get the Compaq BIOS to recognize the OS I just
installed on the drive array.
I must be missing something obvious, but googling and perusing the
archives hasn't helped.
Thanks for your assistance...
Doug
