It's very easy to setup, very fast and also directly supported by the default Kernel. You just go into the BIOS on the card with Alt+3 when you boot, lay out the raid however you want, then install FreeBSD as you normally would. The OS pretty much sees it as a single volume, although something like fsck can also access the individual drives in single user mode. It's a real nice setup and never had any problems. Ray
