I suggest restarting admserv and trying again.  Or reboot.   I think 
that will handle this.

This may be chalked up to a misunderstanding in the way that "no dmraid" 
works.  Selecting that doesn't tell the installer to skip creating a 
RAID.   When you install BlueOnyx, if there are 2 disks, it will use 
them in a mirrored RAID.   Period.

What no dmraid does is tell the installer that even if it does find RAID 
metadata on the disks, go ahead and use them.   Otherwise, if you had 
previously used disks that were RAIDed, the installer would say "whoops, 
this one is already part of a RAID set and I should not use this disk."

HTH,
