I modified my approach a little bit. =20
When trying it on the mini image I first did a load mrsas and it told me it=
 couldn't be found.  So I then did a ls boot/kernel.  Confirmed the mrsas.k=
o file was in fact in the directory.

I did a load /boot/kernel/mrsas.ko and it told me it couldn't load a module=
 before the kernel... so I took the thumbdrive and created a /boot/loader.c=
onf with mrsas_load=3D"YES" and hw.mfi.mrsas_enable=3D1 in it.  Now the sys=
tem is up and running.

I went back and checked the FreeBSD-10.1-PRERELEASE-amd64-20140902-r270981-=
memstick.img image with same install approach... creating a /boot/loader.co=
nf and started the install.

Both installs found the raid as da0 and installed perfectly.  Now I have a =
working installation of FreeBSD.

So when I did a set hw.mfi.mrsas_enable=3D1 on the first attempt on the 10.=
1-PRERELEASE why didn't the mrsas driver load at boot and detect the raid a=
s da0?

Thanks

Don
