Hi,

Thanks for the dmesg.  The dmesg was from an already installed NetBSD
current on your box?  I cant even get the installation iso done on my
box, so i do not think i would be able to upgrade to the current
without getting NetBSD installed.

From your dmesg, your RAID controller seems to be "DELL PERC 5/i" :
sd0 at scsibus2 target 0 lun 0: <DELL, PERC 5/i, 1.00> disk fixed
sd0: fabricating a geometry
sd0: 136 GB, 139392 cyl, 64 head, 32 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 285474816 sectors

My RAID controller is detected as "DELL SAS 5i/R" model in linux.  And
further looking at my netbsd installer's dmesg, it seems the network
card is also not supported by the iso.

any help????
