I cant seem to find any info on Sli > 3114 support in freebsd. That is actually a software raid as well with BIOS support for setup and configuration... But the driver does all the RAID work at runtime... I have the S2882 and could not get the Sil3114 working even with JBOS with 5.3 back when I was installing and going live and so I ended up with a RocketRAID 1820a from highpoint (and use it for JBOD only -- my RAID is SCSI and Adaptec 2200S) best Chad --- Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC Your Web App and Email hosting provider chad@shire.net
