I created a RAID 1 drive in a Dell Optiplex 755, using the internal RAID controller and two 160GB drives, naming the logical drive "freebsd90". Within the system setup menu, the boot menu shows that "freebsd90" is the first (and only) bootable hard drive. Yet when I try to install FreeBSD 9.0-R, FreeBSD ignores the hardware RAID and sees the two separate drives, instead of seeing a single logical drive. Is there a way to get FreeBSD 9.0 to recognize the Optiplex 755 RAID 1 drive? If not, can I just install FreeBSD to one of the drives and expect the hardware RAID to mirror it properly?
