I have to type it by hand, so I'll only include the 2 I think matter:

PCI Bus

	Bus 00	Slot 06: NCR	810 Scsi Controller
					pka0.7.0.6.0	SCSI Bus ID 7
					dka400.4.0.6.0	RRD45
					mka200.2.0.6.0	TLZ07

	Bus 00	Slot 13: DAC960	Scsi Raid Controller
					dra.0.0.13.0


and for the SHOW DEVICE (No S)

dka400.4.0.6.0	DKA400			RRD45  	1645
dra0.0.0.13.0	DRA0		6 Member RAID 5	Failed
dra1.0.0.13.0	DRA1		1 Member JBOD
dva0.0.0.0.1	DVA0
mka200.2.0.6.0	MKA200			TLZ07	553B
ewa0.0.0.11.0	EWA0		00-00-F8-22-34-F8
pka0.7.0.6.0	PKA0		SCSI Bus ID 7


I did boot the system, and it DMESG's a mlxd0 (Raid 5/Offline) and
mlxd1 (Raid 7/Online).

I tried to install on mlxd1 since thats the single disk. The
mlx0 message says to use 2.42 or later, mine is 2.36-0-00. How do
I upgrade?

Alt+F2 says it was scanning the disk, then 

mlxd1: reading primary partition table: error reading fsbn 0


	Where do I go from here? I'd LIKE to make the whole thing
1 big RAID-5 and install on that...
