Thanks; that's helpful. I know that the array can be bootable, but the kernel must be located outside of the array, according to raidctl(8). My array will be for /home only. So it seems like there are two options: 1) Use wd1a and wd2a for the components of the array. 2) Use wd1d and wd2d as the components and setting up wd1a and wd2a with a 4.2BSD fs. The only dis/advantages I see would be that (1) maximizes the space for the array, but (2) leaves open the possibility that I could boot from wd1 or wd2 in the future by putting a basic OpenBSD installation in wd1a or wd2a. Are there any other considerations I should take into account? Or any advice on choosing between these two? Thanks!
