Hello,

It has been a while since I have seen a  DAC960, but this problem was 
solved by setting the partition size to 2GIGs instead of 8GIGs in the 
RAID BIOS.

Thanks for your help!  We'll give that a shot.

Just so that I understand this situation a bit better... why does that solve
the problem?

I do not know, but I think that it has to do with the geometry of the 
logical drive.  When I worked for HostPro all of our MicronPC servers 
came with DAC 960's. I used Freebsd for testing "bad" hardware. The MS 
servers that used the DAC 960 could boot from both partition sizes.
