Subject: [gentoo-alpha] DAC960 partitioning during install?

1 I've got an Alphaserver 1000A 5/333 with a DAC960P (KZPSC) RAID controller.
2 I've managed to create the BSD disklabel, but I can't figure out what the
3 partitions are created as in the LiveCD installer filesystem - or if they're
4 created at all, and if not, what do I create them as. I did the fdisk
5 against /dev/rd/disc0/disc, since that was the only file I could find with a
6 major number of 48 (the DAC960 driver's major number). There are no files of
7 the name /dev/rd/c0d0*, or anything of the sort. I rebooted after creating
8 the disklabel, and the driver didn't find the BAD disklabel - does that mean
9 that it doesn't support them? Am I stuck, in that case? I suppose I could
10 try MILO again, but I wasn't able to get the ARC firmware to load the OS
11 from the floppy.
