Ah! We use veritable sh*tpots of 1850, 1950, 2850 and 2950 machines
around here and have to set up something of that nature on the 2850 and
2950, although we usually do a RAID1 on 2 drives and set up a single
drive RAID0 (I think) for crashdump reasons.
The 1850 and 1950 use a different RAID controller (LSI Logic).
