Sasha:
It's not quite the same, but I wrote a simple how-to about the adaptec raid
controller that's posted on the e-smith site. It should pretty much tell you how
to set the iwill subsystem up for data storage, and use a separate boot drive
from the motherboard ide channel for everything else. One of these days, I'm
going to update that how-to, and also ask the dev group about backup
philosophies as they relate to e-smith and raid.
Good Luck,
Tom
