Hi again!
A VERY late summary, sorry. It seems the DAC960/RA230 MIGHT work with
the 6 drive internal shelf, and not the 4 drive. Even though nobody is
sure. I have not tried this, to costly if it does not work.
Thanx to Phil Sullivan and Bugs for answers (sorry if I missed anyone).
My orignal question:
> Hi Guru's!
>
> Weird problem, hope you can help me. Ive got a DS20E with an RA230
> (Mylex DAC960) raid-controller, three channels.
> On two channels Ive got an old 6 disks SBB-pedestal.
>
> A scsi-controller connects the 4-drive diskcage inside the
> DS20E, where
> the system (5.1a PK3) is installed on a single disk.
>
> What I wanted was to utilize the third channel on the Mylex,

> 4-drive diskcage to the Mylex-controller, runs ra200rcu from the
> ARC-console and makes a new diskgroup. Everything works fine...
>
> ...until I try to boot from the OS CD (still, 5.1a)...then I get an
