Okay.

So yes it's working. I just install the server.

But...the documentation inside the archive s*cks.....

If you follow the doc with a standard memstick img it's not working because
the mrsas driver is include inside the generic kernel.

So you either need to build a personnal memstick with the src of the driver
from broadcom, or you need to build a personnal memstick without mrsas
driver and load the mrsas.so from broadcom.


Looking inside the archive it's seem the mrsas driver from broadcom are in
src version. Are someone know why they are not include in FreeBSD source ?
I didn't see (but I'm not a specialist) anything (licence) against that

Thanks for the help
