OpenServer 5.0.6 Hardware Raid problem

I'm building a new system to run my OpenServer 5.0.6. I have the following
configuration

Intel Server Board SE7520AF2 motherboard with LSI onboard SCSI Raid
controller
Single Intel Xeon processor
Two Seagate 15000rpm ST318453LW 18gb disks as the Unix install drives.
Hardware mirrored.
Two Seagate 15000rpm ST373453LW 73gb disks as a mountable user drives.
Hardware mirrored.
I have installed the Intel RAID Activation key and added 512 mb memory for
the SCSI Raid controller.

My problem is that when I run mkdev hd to define the second hard disk for
the 73 gig drives, they only show up as 4.4 gig drives. They seem to mount
and run fine at the 4.4 gig size.

My questions:

Is there something special that I must do to get the full capacity of the
drives?
Am I exceeding some arbitrary drive size limit in OpenServer 5.0.6?
Any suggestions?

I have two of these servers to build and need to get this one configured and
running before I order more hardware tha may not work. The second server
will be a 5.0.5 operating system.

Thanks in advance for any assistance

where did you get the SCO driver?
what does divvy look like?

looks like a driver issue.
 
I got the SCO driver from the Intel site. I used file ir2_os_2.22_drv_rv2.zip. There was a file ir2_os_srv_2.26.0.0.zip but the image that was created would not load using the "devbootstr link=amird" command on install.
 
Don't know if you've solved it yet..

but if SCO is already installed, you would add the new device drive by running installpkg it'll prompt for the driver disk, then ask which driver from the list of found drivers you want to configure.
