Why? Woody-Install with bf2.4-based boot-floppies does support ATARAID
out-of-the-box.

Uhm, with which driver? IIRC does the kernel driver support the RAID0
mode only.

No. If you use RAID mode, you must install into MBR of the Raid disk,
/dev/ataraid/...

So what now, hde or ataraid?

Well, I implemented and tested booting of ATARAID on a Highpoint Raid
controller (very similar), works fine with Woody now.
