Ahh. I understand.
I didn't know these MBs had the FastTrak BIOS built in; I was assuming you
were using the PCI card.

Ultra100 is okay.
FastTrack is not.
I have no choice since the motherboard has the chip on-board and with
FastTrack BIOS.

I'm a bit confused by this thread. I have two PDC2067 chips in my
fileserver, both on Ultra100 boards and connected to 4 x 30Gb IBM deskstar

How does MASTER mode differ from PCI?
I have:
PDC20267: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 50
PDC20267: chipset revision 2
PDC20267: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
PDC20267: ROM enabled at 0xe800

Actually, upon further testing, I found that the MB will move on without an
Fasttrack array. However, it will proceed to boot from PXE because it now
thinks that there is no hard disk attached to the entire system (as reported
by the Promise RAID chip)!
So,

But my motherboard hangs at boot time (while Fasttrack tests for arrays) if
there is no array defined! There is a message from the Fasttrack bios that
