I think the former is what I was looking for, and for some reason it didn't jump out and smack me in the head when I was reading it over the first time. I just want to be able to set up the RAID in the BIOS, and have FBSD recognize the array as just one disk and go from there. I've not used atacontrol much, and although it might be much more flexible and better to use, I haven't had time to play around with it for my setups. Thanks again. -Gary
