You may want to read through them. http://blog.hostileadmin.com/2012/05/22/freebsd-on-dell-poweredge-12g-servers/ http://blog.hostileadmin.com/2012/06/30/freebsd-dell-12g-x520-da2-10g-nic/ As far as I am aware, the mfi driver needed to support the H710 RAID controller is only in stable/8 and stable/9 right now. I believe it should be in 9.1-RELEASE, but I could be wrong. If/when 8.4-RELEASE is dropped, it should be in there too. -- Take care Rick Miller
