Install Open-E DSS on 3ware

I’m using Open-E DSS V6 for a NAS solution and tried to install on a brand new 3ware RAID configured to use 15 X 2TB drives in RAID6. It would not install no matter what I tried; the instructions weren’t very clear but I found this post through google and left a comment, the reply to which indicated I needed to recreate the RAID from scratch and set aside a boot partition.
When creating the 3ware RAID, there is an ‘Advanced’ option that allows the user to set a boot partition. After I set the boot partition (to 4G to be safe, even though only 2G are required) I was able to install Open E onto the RAID. Hooray.
