  It's available in BSD/OS 2.1. The device driver is called "cd" instead of
"ccd". You need to edit a file to define the drives you want to use (no
ccdconfig).

  When a number of users asked for a better way to do this, BSDI responded
that they'd have an easily configurable striping subsystem in a future re-
lease, not based on the cd driver.
