* Safe mode on errors: The system will continue booting as long as the boot volume is not on this
controller. Drives connected to the controller will be reported as unconfigured good drives to
the RAID management utilities upon a successful boot. No configuration changes will be
allowed, except to clear the controller configuration if desired. Rebooting the system will exit
safe mode, and drives will appear as foreign on the next boot; if problems remain the system will
enter safe mode again. If the boot volume is on this controller, boot will halt.
