Install on SW RAID1 FreeBSD 8.2

F

firefly

Hello,

I'm installing (GUI installer) FreeBSD 8.2 on VirtualBox and would like to try software RAID with 2 x 8GB drives (virtual). If I manually partition during install there is an option to RAID (and ZFS, but I want to try SW RAID1 for now). What is not clear is how to perform the install and configure RAID, slices, bott, etc. from the GUI install.

Please assist.
 
There is no GUI installer on FreeBSD. I'm guessing you're using PC-BSD.

That's fine, but make sure you read the warning/disclaimer in the link posted by SirDice.
 
I find it rather odd that the PC-BSD community refers to us when your question is related to the PC-BSD specific installer.

We cannot explain how to configure RAID etc. using a GUI installer that doesn't exist on FreeBSD.
