I do software raid with atacontrol, and I believe it will boot even if one hard disk
fails.
here are my disk configuration:
ar0: 57241MB <ATA RAID1 array> [7297/255/63] status: READY subdisks:
0 READY ad0: 57241MB <WDC WD600AB-22CBA1> [116301/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100
1 READY ad2: 57241MB <WDC WD600AB-22CBA1> [116301/16/63] at ata1-master
UDMA100
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ar0s1a
my here is my IDE controller:
atapci1: <Intel ICH2 ATA100 controller> port 0x8800-0x880f at device 31.1 on pci0
ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci1
ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci1
nothing special and of course no any hardware support for raid :)
to create such raid just type atacontrol create RAID1 ad0 ad2
that's it :)
