Ok, I bought two of them.  Installed.  Inserted 6.1-RELEASE cd-rom, booted
... and ...

"no disks found"

So ... were you thinking of 7.x perhaps ?  Am I totally screwed now, or is
there some way to salvage this ?  The cards work great - I init'd the
disks and created a raid6 volume, verified.  All done.  It's just that
FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE cannot see the 2820sa to install on.

Please help ...
