Err... You don't need to play with the drivers/CAM stuff, why not try the natively supported gpt(8), which works great. - Map the RAID device to a single SCSI device - Do a dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 bs=16384 count=16 to wipe the MBR - Do a `gpt create /dev/da0' to create your GPT partition table - Do a `gpt add /dev/da0' to create a GPT partition over it - You will now see something like /dev/da0p1, which can be used for subsequent disklabel(8), or just newfs -U /dev/da0p1 Cheers, -- Xin LI <delphij frontfree net> http://www.delphij.net/ See complete headers for GPG key and other information.
