There's work in progress to get the new 6gbps LSI HBAs and RAID controllers working in FreeBSD, but so far the driver is pretty experimental. Currently there's nothing in the tree, but hopefully soon there will be something ready for testing. As far as what you are seeing on boot, the system BIOS is seeing the controller and disks, but FreeBSD doesn't have a driver so once the OS is charge you get the no disks found message. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel FreeBSD -- The power to serve
