You'll need a supported SCSI controller. Does FreeBSD support the Reliance chipset used in NF5000? You seem to be the most knowledgeable about IBM PC servers. For what it's worth I think the NF5000 is better suited, it has two-channel AIC-7895 onboard which seems supported. No need for additional SCSI card. Well expandable in the RAID case, it has 5 hot-swap bays, just plug the ServeRaid card. -- Vallo Kallaste vallo@matti.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
