Hey folks,

Have been trying in vain to install OpenBSD 3.4 onto a Dell PowerEdge
1750 with RAID. The problem appears to be with the Dell PERC 4/Di
Verde contoller being recognized.

Heard via reliable sources (this group) that 3.4 had PowerEdge support
- and I am closer, but not there yet.

The message, when I hit the (I) install key, is:

No disks found.

3.4 appears to recognize the Dell devices at least.

Tried to disable AHA / AHC at boot but no luck.

Any words of wisdom and I would be eternally grateful. Losing my
remaining hairs over this one.

DMESG is below. Thanks again for any help.

Try floppy B instead

Actually, I have tried both floppyB34.fs and floppy34.fs with the same results.
Thanks anyway.

Update:

I tried floppyB also, which did not work, but that made me think...and
I burned the bootable ISO CD with all three floppies and it *worked*
!!

Thanks for the help!!
