If this works with 8-stable, where can I download an ISO = Image? Unfortunately the latest official snapshots were before the driver was = merged. You could try first just to boot on the curent / FreeBSD 9 = snapshots and see if it sees your disks at all. You can get the snapshot from = ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201102/ .

I suspect there will be new official snapshots at some point, but I = don't know when... --=20 Simon L. B. Nielsen
