I have tried to install FreeBSD 13.1 on my HP-Envy computer without success. The PC is currently running Windows 10 PRO / 64 bit. The PC has 3 disks with a RAID5 configuration. It works fine with Windows. Now,when I try to run the FreeBSD setup program, I choose the auto ZFS option. It gets to the point where I am supposed to pick the disks to use. I choose ada0, ada1 and ada2. Now, when I try to continue with the setup, I am presented with this friendly error message: gpart: geom 'ada0' operation not permitted. I have not been able to find a way around this. There is another disk listed, besides the USB ports, "RAID/RO Intel Raid5-LA Volume." I don't know what this is exactly, but including it in the mix doesn't help. I have tried the "MIRROR" option and the STRIPE options, all with no success. Obviously, I was trying to use the RAIDZ1 option since I have three disks. Can anyone tell me what the hell is gong on here? -- Jerry
