That was me. The only differences could be in booting from the raid disks.
I solved this with booting via tftp.

I use several PCI-based UltraSparc machines in roles like FTP, SAMBA, CVS,
IMAP or similar file-servers. I've had very good experience with 2-port
ATA-133 PCI cards based on SI680 chipset. The card is quite cheap and
together with 2 large IDE drives connected to SW RAID-1 it's optimal
storage solution for my company's needs.
