I transferred a PERC5/i controller to my NAS system, which is using a Sapphire mini-ITX board with an AMD M350 CPU.

It seems the card is detected but driver initialisation fails:

This would seem to be similar to discussions in November which eventually led to JHB committing change in r227580 (and perhaps earlier).

I have downloaded the sources for 9.0-RELEASE and it looks like this commit did not get back-ported to the release branch.

I'm a bit of a noob with FreeBSD. The instructions for tracking FreeBSD-STABLE seem a bit scary. Is that the only way that I would get the necessary fixes for the mfi driver? (Indeed, would I get those on FreeBSD stable?)

If you do not want to use stable, you could try to import the diff to your release src yourself.
The only change then is the mfi driver, the rest is just release.

But stable is not that bad to run, i know many people that run a stable release, just for this kind of things.
Many people runs 8.2 Stable for the latest ZFS version.
