8. KNOWN ISSUES and LIMITATIONS
   
   8.1 Conflict with IDEATA.HAM driver 
       
       With a fresh Netware installation or existing Netware OS configurations, 
       the ADPAHCI.HAM driver (Adaptec SATA HostRAID driver) will fail to 
       load if the default IDEATA.HAM (Standard ATA/IDE RAID Adapter) RAID 
       driver is not removed or deselected prior to adding the ADPAHCI.HAM 
       driver.
 

   8.2  Arrays with non-configured disk drives

	During an OS installation, When an array exists along with 
	non-configured disk drives,those disk drives will enumerate 
	and report non-configured drives as the first drives in the 
        order. Mark the intended boot array as "bootable" so the OS 
        will enumerate and list that boot array first during the OS 
        installation.
