Thanks Edward. But that is the problem, I can no longer boot from CD or
floppy. I cannot install any OS on the raid array because I cannot boot from
any media. I have tried booting from a USB CD Rom, did not work. Next thing
I am going to try is to add an IDE drive that is DOS bootable and has the
SBS installation media on it, maybe that works.

As soon as I delete the array booting from CD and floppy works again.
