>Description:
If you create two RAID0 with different disks at the controller BIOS, FreeBSD detects two disks (mfid0 and mfid1), but both point to the same virtual disk, and the second device is unreachable.

This happens at sysinstall time and later when the whole OS is installed.
>How-To-Repeat:
Create two logical devices at Perc5i BIOS RAID controller.
