Hm. I can see how that might have made it impossible for me to use the device as a RAID device, but what I'm doing IS grabbing these two drives up as just two more IDE channgels (hde and hdf), so why would that make the device unbootable? I did tweak something in the RAID bios to (allegedly) make the drive bootable, but that doesn't seem to have done anything (the BIOS interface, even for a BIOS, which is always crude, is just plain TERRIBLE).
