hello!

    so, i got my hands on a shiny new system today with a 3ware 6200
IDE controller and two 20GB IBM drives, with which I wish to set up a
RAID 1 mirroring system.

    So, I hit ALT+3 and go into the configuration screen, and create
the new raid set.

    However, now when I reboot, I always get the status "INIT ARRAY
(After F8)" and when I run the 3dmd daemon and connect, It prints out a
"WARNING" in yellow letters at the top.

    Is this normal?  Is there any way to force initialization of the
array -- FreeBSD does seem to install just fine (although I did get an
error about an unkonwn AEN 0xc once ...), but I'm concerned that the
mirrors are not quite set up correctly.

    Anybody have any insight into this?

    thanks!

    marc.
