Make sure you have enough devices. # cd dev # sh MAKEDEV sd1 # sh MAKEDEV sd2 # sh MAKEDEV sd3 Make sure you are very familiar with bioctl(8) and softraid(4). man softraid && man bioctl In disklabel, wd0d and wd1d should be marked as type RAID. Make sure these partitions are NOT 4.2BSD partitions. Do the 'dd' deed as directed by others, then get your bioctl on. Once bioctl creates your new volume, then you must once again fdisk, disklabel and newfs your new volume.
