a HP Microserver Gen8 landed in my lap recently, but playing with the thing last night it looks like OpenBSD (latest available snapshot) doesn't play well with the RAID controller.
The symptoms are simply disks not seen, with one odd exception: Trying disks from the pile of old SATA units, one apparently had an old OpenBSD install on it, and the system did manage to boot from that when that disk was the only one in the system (ie only one of the four disk slots occupied). All other permutations end up with the disks seen by the RAID controller (which comes with an admin program that appears to be more or less a complete Linux distribution and a GUI that requires a mouse, to the extent that I spent some time rummaging desk drawers for a suitable USB mouse, in my case Sun branded but I digress) not registered at all by OpenBSD, as in only disk seen as available is sd0 which in my case was the USB thumbdrive with the bsd.rd on it. Any input on how to proceed appreciated, dmesg from the install to USB thumbdrive follows - Peter OpenBSD 6.0-current (GENERIC.MP) #0: Thu Nov 17 15:57:16 MST 2016
