Hi list,

I've had a modicum of success with my install of 1.6.1 on the AlphaServer
4100 running RAID5 from a DAC960 (DEC KZPAC Firmware 2.42).

I've manually made the device nodes, disklabeled and newfs'd the slices,
installed boot blocks and files, and extracted the sets.

I manually created the fstab to look like the following:


/dev/ld0a	/	ffs	auto,rw
/dev/ld0b	none	swap	auto,sw
/dev/ld0d	/u01	ffs	auto,rw

I have also edited /etc/rc.conf to say YES, so it should boot to multi-user
mode.

On a boot I get this:

>>> boot -fl 0 dra0
(boot dra0.0.0.4.1 -flags 0)
.block 0 of dra0.0.0.4.1 is a valid boot block
reading 15 blocks from dra0.0.0.4.1

I can 'mount -u /' and the system is up and running nicely... But how do I
get it to 'map' ld0a to "RAID 1 4 0 0 0 6000 11069" so that the system can
boot straight into multi-user mode.

Cheers,

Collin Baillie
