If your running hardware RAID the array each logical volume on the array is presented to both the BIOS and the OS as being a single disk. The RAID controller handles addressing to the physical disks. After hardware RAID is set up (through the controllers firmware) you should be able to go about installing the operating system normaly, asuming you have a supported chipset. You would need to check the hardware compatibility list at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/hw.html Enjoy Gene >-----Original Message----- >From: Shawn Ramsey [mailto:shawn@megadeth.org] >Sent: Sunday, July 02, 2000 3:22 PM >To: questions@freebsd.org >Subject: RAID Controllers > > >Are there any RAID controllers that FreeBSD 3.4 or 4.0 is capable of >booting off of?
