I tried using raidctl earlier today to use my 2 disks in a RAID1 setup and I totally destroyed my OS install. I'm sure I did something funky and it freaked out. No big deal...right?
This is what I was seeing after a reboot.

I decided to just reinstall the OS. It let me go through all of the setup stuff and when it wanted to start installing the OS files I got this message.

One or more disks are found, but one of the
following problems exists:
Hardware failure
Unformatted disk.
The server then dropped me to a # command line. I ran format command and saw only one disk showing as a volume, which I believe is what I needed to do for RAID1 setup anyway (create a volume). So I ran format selected the volume and format again to wipe the drive and its been formatting for over 4 hours and all i keep seeing is an incrementing number that started at 0/0/0 but it has taken 4 hours to get from 0/0/0 to 23,000ish/0/0. Is this normal? Have I totally destroyed the disks? Should I be doing something else? I have read a ton of posts and I'm pretty lost at this point. I'm going to let the drive format overnight but I'm scared it will still be doing this in the morning or something crazy.
Any help would be great...
