I've now added the mfi_load option to loader.conf

At boot this gives me the following message:
module_register: module mfi/mfid already exists!
Module mfi/mfid failed to register: 17
This leads me to believe that the driver is already compiled into the =
kernel, as stated by SpamTitan.

The installation procedure still can't find any disks!

Are there any other things I could try? Obviously it can be done, but =
I'm apparently not capable of doing it.

Any suggestions, anyone?
