Hello. I have been tasked with installing Arch on a 10 year old machine with 3 SCSI disk drives. Having never installed on anything but a notebook and desktop, I was curious as to how I would go about installing Arch on this machine. The sizes of the SCSI disks are as follows:
1x 36.4 GB
2x 72.8 GB
I have a problem, however. When I run `fdisk -l` in a TTY, it gives me two drives, /dev/ida/c0d0 and /dev/ida/c0d1 with sizes 9.1 GB and 36.4 GB respectively. I am curious if I would need to create an array in the machine's BIOS to successfully utilize all the disk space, or if there is something I'm completely missing.
EDIT: Some more twists in the plot. The machine doesn't even seem to be recognizing the two 72.8 GB drives, and when I try to auto-prepare the two drives it does give me, I get this error for both:
"ERROR: get_blockdevice_size needs a blockdevice as $1 (-n/dev/ida/c0d* given)"
