highpoint rocketraid 454 - RAID 1

Tue May 17 00:11:16 PDT 2005

OK, I'm seriously stuck. I have searched every resource exhaustively,
found bits and pieces, but not what I'm after. This is *honestly* my
last resort.
I have a HighPoint RocketRAID 454 with two Western Digital 200GB disks
(I was hoping to boot FBSD off of these). I've setup a RAID 1 array
under the bios utility program, and ran the FreeBSD 5.4 installer. I
remember seeing two different disks (ad4, ad6) when it came to
formatting/partitionning but I thought nothing of it. Until of course,
I wanted to see if there was a way, other than rebooting, to check the
RAID 1 status. I started reading through atacontrol(8) and found that
I could use 'atacontrol status ar0' which gave me:
atacontrol: ioctl(ATARAIDSTATUS): Device not configured

I do not see anything in my dmesg relating to ar0 being up and
running, and displaying the sub-disks which would explain why
atacontrol would be giving me that error message. However, I do see
that the RAID card, and the two disks, ad4, ad6, have been detected
properly.

I will attach my dmesg output below.
Thank you in advance.

Eugene
