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.
