Hi all,
a newbie in FreeBSD here trying to install a RAIDZ2 on a server with mps SA= S controller with drives which are not visible in the boot order in BIOS.
So, I cannot install directly on the drives, despite that the installer &qu= ot;sees" them, because the BIOS does not see the controller and its dr= ives as option.
On the other hand, I have a card reader with a flash card on it (4gigs) fro= m which I can boot and where I can have my /boot partition with the kernel.=  
I've a lot of questions and I still cannot find the answers to most of them= , despite going through the handbook, the boot process explanation, the ins= tallation process handbook and a lot of more reading.

  • How should the flash c= ard be partitioned and with what mountpoints? The server is BIOS capable.
  • How should= the rest of the drives be partitioned with ZFS and the mountpoints? The st= andard configuration from the installer on RAIDZ2 is good for me.
I've experience with Linux but is not helping a lot here. The se= tup looks quite different .... probably because of the ZFS.

Any help, links, ideas and comments will be much appreciated!


Cyberly yours,
deragoth
