Re: Problem with RAID

[Brian Schramm <schpage@pagesz.net>]

I am sorry, I cannot set them up from the install disks.  I need to boot from
them or figure out a way to use the cdrom or floppy to boot and get the raid
system working.  In my job, puting another HD in th system is out of the
question.  

So to sumerize, I need to access from the install disks and need some way to
boot it or create a boot cd/floppy for it.  Creating any type of a cd-rom
(including a custom unit for installing) is NOT out of the question.  I have a
Debian system with a cd-rom writer in it so I can do amost anything with it.
