This is really freebsd-questions@... material, but WTH.
In one of those coincidental ways these things seem to happen, I just
installed 4.11 on one of those mobos a few days ago. One way that
seems to work is to set the BIOS to use 'legacy mode', install FreeBSD
on the 1st hard drive and then:
# atacontrol create RAID1 ad0 ad1
This will create a device ar0 -- so you'll need to modify /etc/fstab
at least. I found it easier just to do a minimal install at first in
order to get atacontrol working, then just re-install from scratch
onto the newly created ar0 device.
