Hi,
This is my first foray into installing TrueNAS and I am struggling with the installation a bit.
I have an LSI HBA crossflashed to IT mode (that is how it was sold to me, I haven't verified that this is the case because I don't know how yet). 8 disks are connected to it 6 HDD's and 2 SSD's.
I have reached the Console Setup and gone to Install/Upgrade where it takes me to a screen to select the disks where I am going to install it on. There are 2 SSD's and 6 HDD's as expected but now the interesting bit.
When I try to select the SSD it briefly shows a message
If I select any of the HDD's it doesn't say anything.
So far I have only attempted to install on the SSD's and after installation reports itself as complete I can't boot TrueNAS.
Another issue that I have is that when I install the disk id's are in the form da[0-7] but if I press F11 to select the disk to boot from then it has a different 4digit hex ID. How can I match these?
Update 1:
I tried installing to the HDD as well and I get the same thing. The installation seems to go ahead successfully but when I reboot the system the system goes on a blank screen with a blinking cursor.
Update 2:
Hardware:
Supermicro X9Dri-LN4F+
2xIntel Xeon E5-2650v2
2xWD-Blue SSD WDS250G2B0A
6xWD Red Plus 4TB SATA WD40EFRX
LSI 9211-8i, SAS2008
4x16GB Samsung ECC DDR3 M393B2G70QH0
All of the drives are plugged onto the HBA through 2x Mini SAS to SATA Cable (SFF-8087 to SATA Forward Breakout)
