You can boot from a USB disk and set up your SoftRAID volume. You can install Yosemite or El Capitan right onto it. (Mavericks also, but there is a minor trick, the install file must be on an Apple formatted disk)

Everything will work fine!]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I have a mac mini with two internal disks.  So far, I've been running them with appleRAID in a stripe.  But... a) el capitain messes this up, b) no recovery partition possible, and c) I've had another problem that necessitated reloading from scratch.

Your doc says I should be able to boot from a softRAID volume and even be able to create a recovery partition on it, or on those disks.

How do I do that?

Even if I create a USB key, boot from it, include softRAID and create a new volume, that...  a) won't have softRAID drivers, so how would it boot?  and b) won't have a recovery partition.

So... how do I do that?]]></content:encoded>
