MegaRAID IDE Linux Installation User's Guide 6

Step 3 Installing RedHat

Steps Description

Create a RAID array using the MegaRAID IDE BIOS.

Remove all hard disk drives from your system not physically attached to MegaRAID IDE.

In your system BIOS, change the boot sequence in such a way that the first boot device is the floppy and

the second boot device is the SCSI device.

Boot your system using the boot floppy and the RedHat CD disc in your CD-ROM drive.

Note: The boot floppy is the first disk you created using the AMIBOOT.IMG image. Make sure you

are booting from the floppy. Check the light on the floppy drive is on during boot up. Do not interrupt the

boot process until you reach the first part of the installation (the language selection screen). If you cannot

use the mouse do not continue with these instructions but proceed to section Installing the Operating

System in TEXT mode.

At the first screen, which prompts you to select your language preference, do not click “Next” but instead

press the <CTRL><ALT><F2> keys at the same time. This will bring you to a shell prompt bash#.

Note: This is the only way to partition the array. It cannot be done later in the installation.

At the shell prompt bash#, use FDISK to partition the drive. Type the following command to partition the

array:

Bash# fdisk /dev/mr0

This will prompt you with the following screen:

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 19589.

There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,

and could in certain setups cause problems with:

1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., LILO)

2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs

(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Command (m for help):

Type <m> and hit <enter> for a list of commands. This will return the following screen
