Hello,
i sucessfully installed FreeBSD 5.21 on a Tyan Trinity 2099 with a 20276 
RAID onboard controller. Linux SuSE 9 does not support the RAID by default.
Nevertheless, there´s something special about it if you use two new or 
low level formatted HDD: it is not sufficiant to create an array via 
bios without mirroring the image of one HDD to the other.
Of course, this makes no sense from the "data view" (there are no data 
on the HDD), but this is a necessary step for the detection of the array 
in the installation process.
The installation detects 3 HDD: each physical HDD as a single HDD, and 
the array, containing both HDD. Select only the array for the installation.
