I thought for certain someone had told me there was a driver for the Silicon Image Sil 3112A Controller in FreeBSD. The disk is a Western Digital "Raptor" http://www.westerndigital.com/en/products/serialata/ EnterpriseDrives.asp#spec So far it works quite nicely with Mandrake 9.1. I have another disk I can load FreeBSD onto. How would I go about getting/adding support for this controller? Dave > > -Søren >Received on Fri Jun 06 2003 - 05:05:06 UTC
