installing is usually done from a ramdisk kernel; the normal ones don't yet have the devices (bio, softraid) and tools (bioctl) to create new softraid devices. > Now, the question is : is there any way to remotely (my box is in a > remote securized datacenter with double code) jump from raidframe to > softraid, as I've understood softraid was the future for OpenBSD ? not without foreign metadata support in softraid. as of 4.3, softraid is coming along nicely, but it doesn't have scrub/rebuild, it's not a full replacement for raidframe yet. at the moment, there are definitely situations where raidframe would just be able to reboot, where softraid would need manual intervention at the console (serial or otherwise).
