Promix server crashed kind of

[Mattias Hedman]

One of my Promox servers running on an old HP Proliant G6 DL380 has a problem, the storage part of the server died yesterday, it is a hardware raid setup.
So the server or system refuses to start without it, is there a way to force start Proxmox and ignoring the missing raid array?

How does this show? Do you get thrown in an emergency console?

How do I see if it is the emergency console, for me it looks like it is starting and the boot process gets interrupted by a missing disk (sdc).

If the boot process gets interrupted, do you have a shell where you can enter commands or login? Hitting the enter key can help to find that out.
If don't have that, does it continue if you wait a few minutes?

I did get a prompt yes it also told me to push Ctrl-D to continue booting (which fails and goes back to the same state), I am able to get a log message dmeg and it states "Hey sdc is missing cant continue".
