Thanks.

I clear and rebuild configuration. Now the results are:

Mar 11 11:47:59 up2 /kernel.mlx: pci2: <PCI bus> on pcib2
Mar 11 11:47:59 up2 /kernel.mlx: mlx0: <Mylex version 5 RAID
interface> port 0x10000-0x1007f mem

mlx0
Mar 11 11:47:59 up2 /kernel.mlx: mlxd0: 35002MB (71684096 sectors)
RAID 5 (online)
Mar 11 11:47:59 up2 /kernel.mlx: pci2: unknown card
(vendor=0x1069, dev=0xba55) at 9.0

The 'df' results are:

Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/da0a     1016303    59555   875444     6%    /

/dev/da0e     1016303    14921   920078     2%    /var
procfs              8        8        0   100%    /proc
/dev/mlxd0   34739262        1 31960121     0%    /mylex

It's OK.
Thanks.
