The drives are connected to a Soyo SY-P4X400 Dragon Ultra Platinum Edition which = has an integrated Highpoint-tech hpt372 RAID IDE controller. I used the ftp installation method using the three = floppy disk images found on the FreeBSD ftp server. Installation proceded as it had in previous versions that I have used = (5.2 and 5.2.1). During the disk selection screen, I choose the raid array rather than one of the individual disks that make = up the array as in previous installations. Everything installed correctly and I rebooted. It was at that time that the RAID = controller reported that the array named FreeBSD had become corrupted due to a missing disk, however both disks were present = and working. What was even more shocking was that the mirroring array between the two disks had before the = installation been named MaxtorHD rather than FreeBSD.=20 I am not sure how this happened, but I am also now having trouble = reestablishing a mirroring array between the two disks. I am not sure how many people use this hardware, but I for one am having = trouble with it and the latest beta of FreeBSD. rothi97@arcadia.edu
