The AMD64/64 bit support I was told would work in FreeBSD; not in the email below but by two different techs over the phone and nobody has called that as the reason for my troubles. Are you telling me that the GENERIC twa should work fine for the 9500 series of 3ware controllers? Careful, apparently this controller is only a month old.
