Greetings, I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.9 onto an ASUS P3B-F motherboard with a pair of Western Digital 120G drives on a LSI MegaRaid ATA 133-2 controller. During the boot process I hit CTRL-M to enter the RAID configuration menu and set up my two drives as mirrored, and I initialized the RAID. When I boot off the FreeBSD install CD, it finds both my hard drives, individually. I am able to install to the drives, but they do not appear to be detected, or treated, as a RAID. Is the LSI MegaRaid ATA 133-2 a hardware raid controller, or is it all in the included drivers and the BIOS util is only for saving a config to the drives? (Did I just over-pay for a IDE controller?) Is there anyway to get FreeBSD to recognize the LSI MegaRaid ATA 133-2 as a RAID controller? Preferrably as a boot device? Any assistance appreciated. -Chris
