When I boot from the 5.1 installation CD-ROM, FreeBSD does not recognize them as one disk. I checked the hardware notes, and "Sil680 UDMA6" is listed. Seeing Sil680 listed, I assumed that the RAID capabilities would also be supported. I read something posted awhile back referring to the Sil680 controller, saying it was supported, but dangerous unless using 5.1-Current. Does anybody know anything about the current status of this? Is there anyway to get the FreeBSD installation to recognize my RAID array, or should I just buy another controller? Thanks, Travis Troyer
