since i've done this a number of times, it's getting easier. i've added some features to the fs and written a few programs and a few scripts to make preparing the boot lun easy, and make dual-booting the fs easy while one is preparing the fs. unfortunately, there still is a bit of magic, i'll work up some man pages. the basic strategy is this. 1. create 2 luns, one for the worm one for the cache. 2. use prep to partition the cache lun and create a "fscache" partition that's 25gb or so. 3. use the "mkboot" script and the configuration files to make a bootable local disk. i use a sata ssd with the ahci driver. 4. boot file server and - ream main, - enter password information if you're really anxious to get going, i can provide the boot scripts & programs without proper documentation right now. - erik
