I have 2 maxtor 40GB's running off a Promise FastTrak 66 under 4.0-stable,
and it's working fine, except for one teensy problem.

vinum (striping them), apparently overwrote whatever the promise uses to
track them as part of a stripe set...  So on reboot, I have to hit an F2
configure, because the promise thinks the array is unconfigured...

using a normal Promise card EIDE controller would've been fine...
