Not any one that I've ever seen in commodity disks. Yes, on big fiber

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.
The pages I mention are for the 3Ware BIOS, not tw_cli or 3DM2... I'm
looking at the pdf and the screenshots are clearly from the 3Ware BIOS.
Check it out...

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.
