2007-01-16 Thread Derek Ragona
With FreeBSD you can manage RAID in the OS or in your hardware (assuming hardware RAID support.) If you setup the RAID in the hardware, FreeBSD just "sees" the array as a large disk you can then partition. The advantage of doing the RAID in hardware is usually performance, but also you can du

You can play with your BIOS settings. In the last part of the installer it will give a list of found drives. You should be using a generic kernel for the install. However in all this, with only 32 MB RAM, it seems a bit pointless. You would do better spending a few dollars for a more curren
