When I tried ran the new installer it failed. So I switched to sysinstall, but it couldn't recognize the disk. I googled and found out that there's been a problem with no driver for that controller. If I understand it correctly, the mps driver works, but you had to use something called JBOD mode. I have no idea what that is or how to set it up. I'm not real knowledgeable about RAID and controllers and the like. All I want to do is install FreeBSD on this box. Is there a version of FreeBSD that will work with the Perc H200A? If so, how do I get it?
