As has been stated my Mike, there are two distictly different PERC2 flavors. If you have the PERC2/Si or PERC2/QC, then you are using the Adaptec flavor and will need the aac driver. This driver hasn't made it's way back to -stable yet, though Mike has some patches for it at http://people.freebsd.org/~msmith/RAID/adaptec/aac-20000912.tar.gz (Mike, should I commit this sometime?). To answer about the RAID question, with the aac cards you can start with a two disk array in either a RAID 0 or 1 configuration, then add a third drive at a later date and the card will morph it to a RAID 5. Of course, RAID 0 provides no data protection, so I would stick with a RAID 1 for now unless speed is more important.
