At 03:35 PM 7/2/2000 -0600, you wrote:
If your running hardware RAID the array each logical volume on the array is
presented to both the BIOS and the OS as being a single disk.  The RAID
controller handles addressing to the physical disks.

After hardware RAID is set up (through the controllers firmware) you should
be able to go about installing the operating system normaly, asuming you
have a supported chipset.  You would need to check the hardware
compatibility list at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/hw.html

So you are saying any supported hardware RAID5 controller can be booted? 
For some reason, I thought there were previous issues with this. But maybe 
that was Vinum? I dunno...
