I need to bring up FreeBSD 4.11 (or any 4.x really) on a Dell Poweredge 1950. They are using the LSI PERC 5/i which apparently requires the availability of the mfi driver. The 4-STABLE release notes indicate that this driver is supported; however, I am stuck since apparently the install CDs available do not have this driver configured. Even the FreeBSD 5.x CDs I have don't support it during install. Has anybody else faced and solved this problem? If so, any help you can provide would be appreciated. -- do svidaniya, ~mitch
