Hi, Pardon me if I seem ignorant here but I am new to the list and procedures of Freebsd... I've recently purchased a bunch of new supermicro servers with 3ware 9650 SATA RAID controllers in them. The freebsd 6.2 install is painstaking because the driver source in Freebsd is not current with the latest twa driver source from 3Ware. As a result, I have had to build custom install CD's with the driver on them so that I can manually load them in the boot loader. It's a pain. I don't know if the same issue exists in Freebsd 7 but some of us are not going to want to move our production environments to Freebsd 7 for a while... What is the procedure for getting the latest twa source patched into the Freebsd 6.2 source tree? It's freely available from 3Ware here and takes all of 45 seconds to patch in: http://www.3ware.com/KB/article.aspx?id=15003 Thanks, Daniel
