RAID Boot volume on OpenBSD 4.6 using softraid
Hello everybody !
I'm going to install a new x86 machine with OpenBSD 4.6 and I need to activate a RAID1 with the boot volume. I've found many HOW-TOs that explain how to do that with non-boot disks, but this is not the case. Can anyone point me to the right direction? Thanks!! Matteo - Italy

You -cannot- boot from softraid or RAIDframe volumes. Let me repeat that. You cannot boot from softraid or RAIDframe volumes.
With RAIDframe, you can have -root- on RAID. Those who use softraid -cannot- have root on RAID, and must be satisfied with using OpenBSD's altroot feature. (I'm a RAIDframe user, and use root on RAID. Each physical drive in a RAID array has a small non-RAID partition for boot.) Last edited by jggimi; 25th February 2010 at 06:23 PM.
