Kyle,
Thank you for getting back to me.
The answer is no. Or possibly it is hidden? On boot, there is nothing that suggests that I could get into a SCSI controller BIOS. I have restored the "utilities partition", a ~38 MB partition on disk 0 that holds the programs needed to program the system BIOS for things like time and date, PCI cards and the like. Nothing in there would allow me to setup an array. I can access this by pressing "F10" as usual on a Compaq.
The machine has a Symbios Logic 53C876 SCSI Controller onboard. Someone suggested in a post I found on the net that this controller was a SCSI controller, but did not support RAID. While I'm sure this is possible, I would think it unlikely that the machine has 7 SCSI HDD's and does not support RAID.
If it's the case that the card doesn't support RAID (which from my 2 minutes of googling seems to be the case) you could always just use Linux Software RAID.
