It's no secret that our installer blows.

You don't have to waste time installing the OS, then going through a complex procedure to setup RAID, and reinstalling again, i think that would confuse average users more. Besides, FreeBSD is a server operating system, and is not intended for average users. If you don't know what RAID is, you shouldn't be in IT.
