Certainly, one 138GB RAID5 logical drive.  It appears to be a Mandrake 
thing.  I've tried 10 community (the one that came out a couple of months 
ago) and then the 10 "Official" that came out less than two weeks ago.

FreeBSD 5.1 from last installed without a hitch.  Now that I actually have 
an OS on the thing I'll try reinstalling Mandrake tomorrow.
