And fixed the problem today.  It turns out that the drive's firmware needed
to be updated.  A call to Quantum's _very_excellent_ technical support
with the information (phase error especially) I had was able to get me
running within an hour of calling them.  They didn't even flinch when I
told them what I was trying to install...

I'm _very_ impressed with Quantum and would definitely recommend their high
end drives with support like this.

I was able to get FreeBSD installed with minimum problems after that.

Now to stripe two other 2GB disks... :)
