I'm installing FBSD 5.0 on Promise FastTrak100-Tx2 ATAPI Raid controller with 
two 20G drives mirrored.

During installation, sysinstall shows three disks; ad4, ad6, and ar0.  I'm 
assuming the ar0 is the disk I need to install on to.

Installation went on fine, and everything seems to be working good.  I decided 
to test the hotswap and mirror features by removing one of the drive at a 
time, also swapped two drives with each other.  No problem there!

But then, I noticed missing /usr/home and /usr/src/sys directories.  I know 
for sure I installed full source.  Anyhow, I created the /usr/home, and using 
sysinstall, I did "add additional distribution" to add "base", "man", 
and "source".  Strangely, afterwards, my passwd file, adduser config, and 
locate database was reset to default.

After reconfiguring lost infos, I've tried recompile the kernel.  And every 
single time, during make, FBSD reboots the system.  So finally decided to 
reinstall, and now sysinstall tells me it can't create the file systems.

Arrg!!!  What's going on???  I'm clueless.
