on the PCI slots so that the boot device is in the highest priority slot number

Q: Why does my system reboot after the QEMM driver loads from
CONFIG.SYS?
A: The problem lies in the QEMM “Stealth” feature. This feature places the drive
information from the DOS System area into the upper reaches of RAM where
Windows resides. This causes the FastTrak100 to lose track of its drives when
asked to execute the next line in the CONFIG.SYS file. This forces the reboot
that you see. Disable QEMM’s stealth feature to correct this problem.
Q: Why can’t I see the drives on the FastTrak100 under FDISK?
A: The FastTrak100 controller is dedicated to RAID array management and does
not provide any means of addressing individual hard drives through the Int 13h
interface used by FDISK. In order to access drives on the FastTrak100 from
MSDOS at all, you must first create a RAID array.
