It's always the little things that get you.

WD may have a utility to turn it off. I know hitachi got a utility for setting actual drive size, ATA 1-6, APM, Acustics ....

The FreeNAS can be a live CD setup, It pretty easy to do. Just need to save the config file, then replace the current on the cd. The only problem is that you are locked to that file.

The snaps with a std boot loader may work, the problem would be easier if you know which NIC driver to use. Hard code the IP and Admin PW. The FreeNAS is also working on using different size drives, so we may down the line be able to install the OS on the disk being used for raid.
