Are there any particular preparation processes one should go through
when setting up a Mylex DAC960 RAID array ?
(if so give me a pointer to the docs)
Can I just purchase all the hardware, plug in the disks and boot the
FreeBSD-4 install floppies ? (for a system to be booting from the
array with no internal ATA devices)
or Should I have an internal ATA hard disk with some evil OS on it
such as Lose 9X or NT so as to run any kind of Mylex DOS/Windows
preparation utilities ?
