I'm having an issue getting a C6.6 install to work on a 3 TB dual hard
drive system, raid 0. I'm hoping that someone here can help.

1: Is this system booting UEFI or BIOS?

UEFI,

2: Is the disk partitioned with MBR or GPT?

MBR

3: Is /boot on its own partition?

No.

3TB drives are larger than MBR and BIOS properly support, so they're only really expected to work on a system partitioned with GPT and booting via UEFI. And in that case, /boot and /boot/efi need to be individual partitions.

Ahhhhh, OK. Well, I have some work to do this afternoon. Thanks for the very helpful tips!
