There are ways to do that, but in order for that to work at all you need to have BIOS support. Some of the ATA ``RAID'' products work like that: they have BIOS support for mirroring/failover, but the operating system has to do all the work once it's booted. FreeBSD supports these controllers reasonably well, and they are quite economical. -GAWollman
