Just built a nice NAS box with an older Shuttle PC and 2 x 500GB drives in hardware RAID1.

I am falling at the first hurdle though. Downloaded FreeNAS 8 Beta.

Boot off of the CD. Select option 1 to install to HDD/USB and then no further options.

Guides suggest I should get further options so that I can partition the HDD off to allow for OS/SWAP/DATA partitions.

Any ideas?
 
Yep it can see the array and install to it fine.

I just don't get the option to partition the array off. Just goes directly to the full install mode.

Maybe it's the image I downloaded? I'll try the older, stable release.
