Hey all,

I have a new system with NO FLOPPY CONTROLLER and a 3ware 9550 card. It's a 1u system -- sticking extra things into PCI slots as a workaround is likely to be impossible.

I don't think you need a driver - it's already there.
apropos 3ware
twa(4)- 3ware 9000/9500/9550 series SATA RAID controllers driver
twe(4)- 3ware 5000/6000/7000/8000 series PATA/SATA RAID adapter driver

Oh I'm sorry, then why didn't I just install the OS? Because it said "no drives found!"

The card doesn't probe at boot, and there's an elaborate howto on 3ware's site that describes HOW to get it to probe at boot.

While I myself stated that the driver DOES appear to be in the base, for whatever reason the kernel on the install CD doesn't include it, nor the ability to kldload a module from anyplace easy.
