It takes a moment to pick up, but you get the hang of it. af ter booting to dos, insert the dos drivers disk and type dptmgr. This will let you set up the RAID style that you want and then add drives to it. Then you need to install FreeBSD via the dpt-boot.flp image. However.... Before rebooting after the install, you must drop into "alt F4" prompt window and buil d a kernal with the DPT support. The Generic kernel does not have it yet. BTW: I have yet to be able to do a make world with the DPT card and RAID 5. Wor ks great mirrord though.
