Tried HBA mode. Devices attached as AHCI were not recognized. Tried leaving in RAID mode: cannot have two non_RAID devices. Its either one (Raid) and one (non-Raid) or one RAID only. Only one VD_ defined mirror pair in RAID mode was recognized after boot by the ISO boot media. Is it possible interrupting second stage boot to set hw.x.y.z= sysctl type settings would help? Something about device recognition? > > Also, you must use mrsas(4) driver instead of default mfi(4) to get TRIM support for SSD. > mfi(4) has no TRIM support at all. You may switch to mrsas(4) after intallation, though. Thanks for the tip! -G
