There's work in progress to get the new 6gbps LSI HBAs and RAID controllers working in FreeBSD, but so far the driver is pretty experimental. Currently there's nothing in the tree, but hopefully soon there will be something ready for testing. As far as what you are seeing on boot, the system BIOS is seeing the controller and disks, but FreeBSD doesn't have a driver so once the OS is charge you get the no disks found message. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel FreeBSD -- The power to serve [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (FreeBSD) iQEcBAABAgAGBQJMUvFGAAoJEKFq1/n1feG2VW8H/iUl36rhDSfJuEarmmmQpNw2 W1ym0tlV1a3tntwHQEV4fJAfjKuMSko0TYLEEXfw1oR50JvawVD5xPrWNO+A22Lj p9RmBhFWpRZKdOsp50Zfbfg4CFnHRs0bTd1lWTKDSHd7FgDwJY1VtY+HIVeBCNnV o15ySsZOjBXAJYr3bbBNTw2BYewLrxwMMWkpdFdq47yevUGmTsagbBV8wugl06Ke etEUpn/fHZUnWdkesmWkHtWnCdR9E3MeXc0LnOYXWj4GOEeqGzZIk3Wx4q0x2Bdw OXW1sywi/gJJ0VDEm4okKkYRUjdSx1/sUx+u9HFghY/llj+Dj/4bcJ5BvUJOqwI= =iaVF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
