Hi Andrew:

Here is our process:

1) set up the raid 0 using adaptec software
2) reboot from floppy (we got them from:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/i386/snapshot/20010526-1.5V/ -
boot1.fs,boot2.fs)
3) go through install menu - it finds the raid with no problems (ie/ sees the 2
drives combined as one), and set up partitions (custom)
4) When partitions are set -  when we say yes to "do you really want to create
partitions" we get this error message:
        mount of device /dev/ld0a on / failed

Are we doing something wrong? Could  it be because the drive is seen as one large 120
gig drive and netBSD doesn't like that?

Thanks again for your help

Joshua
