If he doesn't, I can send him a motherboard (no CPU or RAM though) which can help with this department. I think it's "too soon" to get this into RELENG_5, to be honest, unless things happen over the next 7-8 days. -CURRENT is an entirely different story. >From what I understand, there's been a lot of work recently on getting metadata support for different onboard RAID controllers.
