I netbooted 9.0 Beta and was going to try and install the system onto a
raid1 mirror built with graid. However, neither sysinstall nor
bsdinstall see it fully
I have the box netbooted (Intel Matrix raid)
i5# graid status -ags

Intel-a5bbf622 OPTIMAL ada1 (ACTIVE (ACTIVE))

I can newfs /dev/raid/r0
i5# ls -l /dev/raid/r0

and mount it. However, speeds seem a bit slow, but I am not sure if
thats to be expected.

But when I run sysintall, it does not find any disks. If I run
bsdinstall, it sees ada0 and ada1, but I cannot partition and label the
raid partition. Am I supposed to just write to ada0 ? What is the best
way to do it
Guided just shows ada0 and ada1
The partition editor does show
md0 4.0 MB malloc
ada0 465 GB
raid/r0 465 GB
ada1 465 GB
raid/r0 465 GB
But I cannot label any of the r0 'disks'
It comes up with
Invalid argument.
