    Yes I have. The only problem is that SRM needs disklabel partitioning, which
    appears to be incompatible with LVM. I found this out the hard way. If there
    is a way to get it to boot off of a DOS partirioned drive, I'd be happy. Or
    if there's a way to only use disklabel on the drive containing the root
    filesystem, allowing the kernel to pick up the LVM stuff after it has loaded.
    That would work as all the drives are picked up in SRM and there is no crash
    on loading the kernel.

    With the hard drives as they are (4 2G, 3 1G) it's kind of useless to keep
    them split up. I plan on using the box for storage and backup (it has a tape
    drive).
