Hai. I've been trying to get Raid working................... Now I've made a not that good decision in buying a CompraQ proliant 1000.
At first it was a hell to get the machine past the bios errors. Now I can get in the installation menu using rescue and root disks. But no disks are beeing recognized. Do I need some special bootdisks? It has a 1.05Gb disk on the onboard scsi-controller (together with a cdrom; doesn't see that one either) I installed Dos 6.0 on it (like it was a regular desktop). Now I don't have a clue on how to move on. Any hints and tips are welcome.
