Well, it was sysutils/megarc for PERC/4.  On PERC/5 mfi(1), it's whatever 
we decide to call it.

Dell is shipping a CLI with OMSA or whatever.  We may have to hack on the

We've got the      /dev/mfi?	 management interface already, just need 
to port the Linux code over.

I'm really starting to think OpenBSD will beat FreeBSD to the game with 
the bio(4) RAID management hardware abstraction subsystem:
