Thanks. It's very helpful to know for sure that it was never backported to 5.x
So, I'll stop looking for the driver for 5.x and look for other options to
get this machine up and running with the DAG card. Thanks.

I am trying to install an Endace DAG card for traffic capture on a new
machine with 8 drives installed using a PERC 5i controller. Due to
support limitations for the DAG software, I have to install FreeBSD 5.4
on this machine.
However, the install CD does not see any drives at all - my guess is
FreeBSD 5.4 has no drivers for the PERC 5i controller. Does anyone know
a workaround for this? Is there a PERC 5i driver available for FreeBSD
5.4? TIA for your responses.
I am guessing you are right. 5.4 is pretty old.
Is there any good reason you don't go to a more
modern version of FreeBSD?

Yeah...and he mentions it in his email. Did you read it?
The driver you need (mfi) was never backported to 5.x It was introduced in
FBSD 6.1-R You might ask the author (Scott Long) how much work it would be
or why it was never backported. It's possible it's trivial and it's possible
that it would require massive amounts of work.
