Changing the BIOS boot order manually is a kludge that you don't have to perform with hardware RAID, and my rant above was addressing the reasons why having the BIOS try sda then sdb etc isn't really solving the problem in some cases.
ah, okay. i get it now. i guess i just don't see changing the boot device as being a huge problem as i'm likely to have to do lots more manual fixup stuff anyway in case of a major hardware failure. a minor annoyance issue. in situations like that, i reserve my bitterness and loathing for the extreme crappiness of IPMI consoles that can only be accessed via some POS java GUI craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
