Good day, I took one of my desktops that has two EIDE hard drives and went through the steps I had sent earlier to you and tried to verify that it does work on OpenBSD 4.0. It does work -- almost. I am pretty sure I was booting from /dev/raid0a on the old server but couldn't repeat that with this desktop. Here is my df -h
ftl21# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd0a 3.9G 1.6G 2.2G 42% / /dev/raid0d 7.9G 6.0K 7.5G 0% /tmp /dev/raid0e 7.9G 4.0M 7.5G 0% /var /dev/raid0f 7.9G 1.5G 6.0G 20% /usr /dev/raid0g 7.9G 3.0M 7.5G 0% /var/www /dev/raid0h 66.7G 2.0K 63.4G 0% /home Please note that I am using /dev/wd0a for root and not /dev/raid0a as I wanted to do. Here is a copy of my fstab on wd0a in case that helps /dev/wd0a / ffs rw 1 1 /dev/raid0b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/raid0d /tmp ffs rw,nodev,nosuid,softdep 1 2 /dev/raid0e /var ffs rw,nodev,nosuid,softdep 1 2 /dev/raid0f /usr ffs rw,nodev,softdep 1 2 /dev/raid0g /var/www ffs rw,nodev,nosuid,softdep 1 2 /dev/raid0h /home ffs rw,nodev,nosuid,softdep 1 2 I have the same fstab file on wd1a, wd0a, and raid0a. I had /dev/raid0a / ffs rw 1 1 on the old server's fstab - according to my notes. However, when I do that with this installation, I get a bunch of errors, so thought having /dev/wd0a instead of /dev/raid0a should at least provide software RAID for /var, /home, /var/www, /usr, etc. If you figure out how to boot from /root0a please do let me know. If not, I will try to redo this whole thing over the christmas holidays and see if I can make it work.
