OK for me. > 2) Will the FreeBSD kernel be able to detect/use the on-board SCSI controller? Yes. There is only one problem: multiples 2940 cards are initialized/probed by the bios in different order than the one during the FreeBSD boot probing. This gave me good time when the 'bios boot' disk were the last one seen by the kernel !!... By inverting cards, cables and so on, i got the 'bios boot' disk as sd0. (I run 2x2940 each for 4x9Gb disks and use the internal 7880 for DLT, CD-RW and tapes All works great).
