raidctl question



I'm trying to set up a box with RAID 1 using the RAIDframe driver.  I'm
not having much luck, and I was hoping someone could help me out.

Here's the configuration:
AMD K6-3/400
128 MB RAM (soon to be 256)
8.4 GB Seagate IDE drive
2 donated 18 GB IBM SCSI drives (sd0 and sd1)

Here's what I get:
# raidctl -C raid.conf raid0
raidctl: ioctl (RAIDFRAME_CONFIGURE) failed: Invalid argument
# ps -aux | grep raid
root      7340  0.0  0.2   112   304 p0  S+     7:14PM    0:00.01 grep
raid
root     16046  0.0  0.0     0     0 ??  DL     7:08PM    0:00.00 (raid)
root     12779  0.0  0.0     0     0 ??  ZL     7:14PM    0:00.00 (raid)
#

On the surface, it looks like the 'pseudo-device raid 4' line isn't in the
kernel config, but it is, and I've rebuilt the kernel just to make sure
it was. 

I also don't understand why raid spawns off these extra processes even
though it didn't succeed.

Here's the raid.conf file I've been using:
START array
# numRow numCol numSpare
1 2 0

START disks
/dev/sd0e
/dev/sd1e

START layout
# sectPerSU SUsPerParityUnit SUsPerReconUnit
32 1 1 1

START queue
# 100 signifies the max. number of entries in the queue.
fifo 100

Thanks in advance!
