Re: scsi woes

well if your scsi is running all you have to do is setup the raid
go read a HOWTO on it cause i think it would be a lot more
beneficial if you learned too much than just barely anything
(i.e. me telling you how to make it work)

beginning or use the running system I have now to get the scsi up? During
the install I was unable to fdisk /dev/sda nor do I know how to use mkraid
or any of the other tools provided. Any advise to get me on the right path?
