Booting from a large hard disk

I recently had to install Openfiler on a HP server with ten 750 GB hard disks on a cciss RAID controller, which proved to be a major nuisance. Since the customer wanted the box in service fast, I finally settled on wasting two of the disks as a 750 GB RAID 1 for the actual system (with like 10 GB actually used) while RAIDing the remaining disks together to a RAID 6 with spare disk for productive data.

During this task, I noticed a severe lack of current knowledge about modern PC architecture and how to boot from a big hard disk and decided to do some research into this direction. This article shows the first "results" that I have achived in the last few days.

synaptics and unstable?

Dear Lazyweb, I have just found out that ksynaptics has stopped working against the X in unstable, and that ksynaptics is not even in lenny, let alone in current testing and/or unstable. This currently leaves me with an unconfigured touchpad, which is a major nuisance since I have gotten accustomed to tap-dragging and touchpad border scrolling.

xserver-xorg-input-synaptics' README.Debian dates back to 2004, so I suspect that the information given there in does not any more apply to today's configfile-less X.

So, dear lazyweb, how do I get my touchpad back into the more intelligent mode? Clickable configuration preferred.
