I just had a look at that documentation. Not far before the
referenced pages it says to hit "ALT-3" to enter the BIOS
configuration, and then describes the procedure for creating a unit
including creating a "boot unit". No operating system is required
at that stage.
The only 3ware controller I have here is an old 6000 series
controller, but it functions in the same way: When booting the
machine, enter the magic keystrokes, use the BIOS utility to
configure the volumes, then continue with the installation.
Do you see the "boot unit" option when use use ALT-3 to enter the
3ware configuration BIOS?
Yes. That's where I enabled Auto Carving at 2TB :-)
But that option doesn't exist in the 9000-series controllers :-( If
it existed in the 6000, they must have taken it out and then added it
back later.
