I just had a look at that documentation. Not far before the referenced

describes the procedure for creating a unit including creating a "boot
unit". No operating system is required at that stage.
The only 3ware controller I have here is an old 6000 series controller,
but it functions in the same way: When booting the machine, enter the
magic keystrokes, use the BIOS utility to configure the volumes, then
continue with the installation.
Do you see the "boot unit" option when use use ALT-3 to enter the 3ware
configuration BIOS?
Yes. That's where I enabled Auto Carving at 2TB :-)
But that option doesn't exist in the 9000-series controllers :-( If it
existed in the 6000, they must have taken it out and then added it back
later.
Sorry, I was unclear. The option doesn't exist in the 6000 series
controllers, but rather you get to the configuration screens before booting
into the operating system.
Which controller, exactly, are you using?

Jan.
