A little bit off topic, but:
Someone (on questions@) told me that you cannot install FreeBSD onto a
software RAID (vinum), because the RAID must be set up post-install.
Is this the case?
If so, then the original poster would need to install onto a separate
disk (a small IDE would do), then setup vinum, then mount his volumes to
configure the rest of the system. Or is there a work-around? I don't
know what the Solstice Disk Suite does, or if there is an analogue for
FreeBSD.
Thanks!
