I'd be very surprised if you can't. You can certainly do it
with Areca (arcmsr(4)), HP (ciss(4)), IBM ServeRAID (ips(4)),
although the details vary.

I can confirm 3Ware controllers also work that way.
Please enlighten me. I see no such options in the BIOS menu.
I've done it in 3DM2, but look at pages 23+24 (printed page
numbers) here and the stuff regarding setting up a seperate boot
volume:
http://www.3ware.com/support/UserDocs/3ware9590SEUsrGuide.pdf
Those are CLI functions. Which means you have to boot to run the
CLI, so cart->horse.
Sorry for being terse, but I have to solve the boot problem which is
what started this conversation.
For data arrays not part of boot, I could simply use GPT and be done
with it. I only need small volumes to solve the boot problem.
