Are there any particular preparation processes one should go through when setting up a Mylex DAC960 RAID array ? (if so give me a pointer to the docs) Can I just purchase all the hardware, plug in the disks and boot the FreeBSD-4 install floppies ? (for a system to be booting from the array with no internal ATA devices) or Should I have an internal ATA hard disk with some evil OS on it such as Lose 9X or NT so as to run any kind of Mylex DOS/Windows preparation utilities ?
