I think "non-options" in http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#RAID probably applies here. > Should this board's controller prove unsupported, can anyone > suggest us another MiniATX board with full RAID support for OpenBSD > 4.2? Not without using a separate controller of some kind. If the reason for RAID is "try and avoid data loss while not making proper backups" then software RAID might be an option (raidframe, softraid or ccd), though making backups (even if it's just rsync to a USB hard drive) would be a better option. If the reason is "try and stay running through a disk failure" then the separate controller e.g. arc(4), mfi(4), ami(4), is more likely to be successful.
