The choices are basically this, for the R210 II: No raid (onboard SATA) Perc S100. Software "fake" RAID. If you have this, try to disable RAID in the bios which should get you back to the first option. Perc S300. Software RAID with some sort of hardware module/key. Remove it from the server and disable RAID in the bios. Should get you back to the first option. Perc H200. Actual hardware RAID. Supported by the mps driver in FreeBSD, and I would expect to be the least troublesome configuration in OpenBSD. You might be able to glean some configuration options from this PDF: http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pedge/en/poweredge-r210-ii-technical-guide.pdf --Doug
