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  ada0 (ACTIVE (ACTIVE))
Intel-a5bbf622  OPTIMAL  ada1 (ACTIVE (ACTIVE))
i5#


I can newfs /dev/raid/r0

i5# ls -l /dev/raid/r0
crw-r-----  1 root  operator    0,  98 Aug  5 10:43 /dev/raid/r0
i5#

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

i5# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test bs=1024k count=100

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.
arg0
'Intel-a5bbf622'
