So here's my follow-up question (and forgive me, as I am a bit new to 
FreeBSD):

What is the best way to use the "device ataraid" kernel option while
performing a clean installation by booting off the 5.2.1 ISO CD-ROM?

This seems like a job for custom boot floppies or CDs, but I'd like the
most graceful solution.  Also, I'm not afraid to read documentation if
there's something else that I need to read!

Thanks for the great info so far!
