The following option is needed for ata raid: device ataraid This is also "built-in" to FreeBSD (included in the GENERIC kernel). As=20 such, your configuration should work out-of-the-box. I use an HPT370A with RAID 1. Here is the appropriate section of my=20 kernel config file (modified from GENERIC -- GENERIC works as well): # ATA and ATAPI devices device ata device atadisk # ATA disk drives device ataraid # ATA RAID drives device atapicd # ATAPI CDROM drives options ATA_STATIC_ID #Static device numbering Jon Noack
