Used install procedure: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-5504/6mkv4nh4e?a=view#netinstall-step-6601

This Dell Adaptec controller 39320 doesn't show the option to disable HostRaid Is there a BIOS we can download that has this option ?

same thing here with a dell precision 380 desktop.the 39320 doesn't have the option to disable hostraid in its bios. dell support told me there is no other firmware available through dell. gotta check adaptec firmwares. but so far none matched the device id of that card :-\

there is a german article how to fix the bios on that hba:

only problem is one needs the seeprom dumped from a non-dell card of that type. after that it is possible to flash the adaptec firmware. so if anyone has a 39320 hba and is willing to dump the seeprom using the scsiutil.exe that would help very much...
