I looked through sysinstall source and libdisk source and guess what ! -
libdisk doesn't know about ar? devices yet.
Could someone update the libdisk source in stable and current to include the
device?
The files affected are:
/src/lib/libdisk/create_chunk.c
/src/lib/libdisk/disk.c

Unfortunately I am not able to compile and try this, but if someone can
create a set of 4-STABLE or 5-CURRENT installation disks and e-mail them,
I'm willing to try.
Those diffs are against 2000-10-30 stable, so they are just to show changes
what I thing should be done to actual current files. This should make
Current install on ATA RAID hopefully. I don't know, if it will make STABLE
sysinstall recognize the ar device. I hope so.
