Hi,

I'd like to use my system's HP NetRAID (AMI MegaRAID) controller to
mirror its two drives, but FreeBSD can't boot from the amrd device. I
was wondering then if it's possible to use a CD-ROM or (gasp) floppy to
boot the system and have it switch-over somehow to the amrd device.

If that's not possible, could I use a CD-ROM as the root and mount
everything else from amrd0? Any pointers on doing this?

As Mike Myers would say on "Coffee Tawlk":  Discuss!

(I'm not subbed to this list, please CC: me.)

Thanks!
