I thought for certain someone had told me there was a =20 driver for the Silicon Image Sil 3112A Controller in FreeBSD. The disk is a Western Digital "Raptor" http://www.westerndigital.com/en/products/serialata/=20 EnterpriseDrives.asp#spec So far it works quite nicely with Mandrake 9.1. I have another disk I =20= can load FreeBSD onto. How would I go about getting/adding support for this =20 controller? Dave > > -S=F8ren >
