I just got off the phone with someone from Mylex tech support - the BIOs on
the newer cards, like mine, supposedly won't show any backplane devices in
the scan.  I had to sit and listen to a 5 minute lecture from the tech on
how the Linux driver spits out all of the attached devices on boot up.

'camcontrol' just shows me the RAID virtual disk, not the backplane or the
drives.  So, any way to scan the bus in FreeBSD and list all the attached
devices ?
