I have been told that DAC960's are not supported. I've also not been able to boot a freebsd machine with mylex drives attached.... I'm using linux on the machines that have the controllers. vaevictus@socket.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
