i'd like to take a moment to thank paul. adding in these 3 lines to enable
"CAM" apparently allowed the kernel to compile, and it has recognized it:

device          scbus           # SCSI bus (required for SCSI)
device          da              # Direct Access (disks)
device          pass            # Passthrough device (direct SCSI access)

3ware device driver for 9000 series storage controllers, version:
2.50.01.001
twa0: <3ware 9000 series Storage Controller> port 0x9800-0x98ff mem
0xfb800000-0xfbffffff,0xfc7ffc00-0xfc7ffcff irq 30 at device 5.0 on pci1
twa0: 8 ports, Firmware FE9X 2.02.00.008, BIOS BE9X 2.02.01.037

da0 at twa0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <3ware Logical Disk 00 1.00> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device
da0: 100.000MB/s transfers
da0: 1430448MB (2929557504 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 182356C)


now we'll see if i can format it and such and then try to put a load on
it.

what do people suggest to ensure i put a load that could freeze it up if
there are any driver issues? what program(s)/port(s) could i use to
benchmark/stress test?
