What's the HPT368 ? Any pointers to docs ?

Not directly. The RAID features of the HPT (this is true for promise too)
is software RAID, hardware is just a standart pciide controller.
NetBSD can do software RAID (and I use it :) but the format is not compatible
with the HPT's BIOS. So you can't boot directly from a RAID partition,
you need to workaround this (a small boot partition on both disks,
with the same kernel on all of them).
