Hello,
I have a 5.2 FBSD system with a highpoint ATA raid controller and 2 x WD 200 ATA
HD's. I created a Raid 1 array in the HP bios.
dmesg output:
ad4: 194481MB Maxtor 6B200P0 [395136/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA133
GEOM: create disk ad6 dp=0xc485b860
ad6: 194481MB Maxtor 6B200P0 [395136/16/63]

Why does the os even detect the individual drives when the raid card made it a
single drive and the os install is after the raid bios???
Because the chipset provides means to control both single disks and
arrays thus you get both, just the way that card chose to do things :)
