<para>
<para>FreeBSD also supports a variety of hardware <acronym>RAID</acronym>
controllers. In which case the actual <acronym>RAID</acronym> system
is built and controlled by the card itself. Using an on-card
<acronym>BIOS</acronym>, the card will control most of the disk operations
itself. The following is a brief setup using a Promise <acronym>IDE RAID</acronym>
controller. When this card is installed and the system started up, it will
display a prompt requesting information. Follow the on screen instructions
to enter the cards setup screen. From here a user should have the ability to
combine all the attached drives. When doing this, the disk(s) will look like
a single drive to FreeBSD. Other <acronym>RAID</acronym> levels can be setup
accordingly.
