Hi,
I have a brand new Dell Poweredge 850 with two 160 G SAS disks attached
to a Perc 5IR controller card.
In the BIOS, I have configured them as an IM (Integrated Mirror) Logical
Volume. I have synchronized the mirror, and the array is activated.
I have played with various BIOS settings, Boot Support, etc, but don't
seem to get any different results.
When I go to install, either OpenBSD 4.0 or current, I get the following:
newfs: /dev/rsd0a: Device not configured
mount_ffs: /dev/sd0a on /mnt: Device not configured
FATAL ERROR: Cannot mount filesystems. Double-check your configuration
and restart the install.
At the shell, I can "dhclient bge0" and get network connectivity no
problem. (how I got my dmesg off).
yep, thanks for the dmesg, it does seem to be recognizing your
controller and drive properly...
How about your partition tables? Do you have an 'a' partition? How
about showing us the output of 'fdisk sd0' and 'disklabel sd0' after
it chokes?
Nick.

dlg@ replied offline and suggested pretty much the same thing, but also
said to try a:
"fdisk -i sd0" followed by "disklabel -dE sd0".
Magic, everything is working 100% :-)
Thanks!!
