It is supported through the mps driver in 8.2-RELEASE though. You'll need to go in the RAID setup to destroy the logical device. Next, you'll need to download Martin Matuska's MFSBSD and rebuild it with the 8.2-RELEASE sources to include the mps driver in the kernel. Once you've booted from that, you'll be able to see your hard drives as /dev/da0 and /dev/da1 You will have to create a software RAID using either gmirror or ZFS, and install the OS on your mirror.
