That is likely because you should be trying to setup the array before you
setup Linux. :-)
The idea is, you use a controller-specific utility (either booted from
floppy/CD, or built-in to firmware) to configure things. You turn the three
physical disks into a single RAID volume (AKA "logical drive" or "disk
set"). The OS sees the RAID volume as a single SCSI disk, and never knows
it is actually using multiple disks.
Most Adaptec controllers have a BIOS POST banner, during which you press
[CTRL]+[A] ("for SCSISelect!") to enter a firmware utility. Since this kind
of configuration is OS-independent, Adaptec's website should be able to help
you.
