This depends on how the Kayak presents the disks. If it presents them as two separate disks, you'll need to figure out what's where. If it treats all the disks in the array as one gigantic disk, you need to figure out where you other disk came from. > Was I right in thinking so, or is there no danger by installing > FreeBSD? Use FDISK and get a good idea of what's where, then try again. You may find it helpful to look at the boot probes and see what was assigned to what; hit SCROLL-LOCK then use the arrow keys from the main install menu.
