I was surprised that it didn't fail due to the protected mode boot2 issue which kib has resolved, however that real mode boot code is yet to hit CVS. If the VIA V-RAID BIOS is configured with a 'bootable array', raid does not show up as I'd expect; I have to disable booting from the array in order to get ar0 to show up. The array currently shows up as 'degraded'. If there's a Wiki or something where this information may easily be added please point me at it... JFYI, BMS
