Basically, get it all set up and running using the DOS utilities supplied, and then the mirrored discs will just appear to be a single drive to whatever you want to install on them; you don't necesarilly need any OS-specific drivers. Leave yourself a tiny DOS partition for their software to live on in case you need to do any maintenance on it, for instance when one disc dies, and you need to replace it - that is why you bought a RAID, yes? If you're trying to do this post-install, then I guess it's best to run the DOS version of storage manager off floppy to add the drives. Rob.
