I can't seem to convince it to work.

This is the first time I am using raid on a FreeBSD box
but I was under the impression that things shouldn't really 
be any different.  I created a stripe set/logical drive from 
two 36gb drives.  Booted from CD (4.4) and the install went 
great since the Mylex is supported in the Generic kernel.   
Rebooted and I get "Missing Operating System".

I assumed this was some sort of a bios problem so I tried again
in a newer box (IBM MPro) and still no joy.  Next I dropped the 
Raids logical drive size down to 1Gig and this time I installed
the FreeBSD boot manager rather than using "standard".  

Now I get the boot menu and the F1 choice is FreeBSD but all  
pressing F1 results in is beeping.

Anyone have any pointers for me?
