The install failed using the method below.  While extracting the archives I=
 get an mfi command failed... then a series of mfi0: COMMAND 0xfffffe0001fc=
f388 timeout after 76 seconds... and it keeps incrementing from there.

Should the drive still show up as mfid0 during install?  I was expecting to=
 see mrsasd0 or something of that sort.

Thanks

At the loader(8) prompt, try:

    set hw.mfi.mrsas_enable=3D1
    boot

There is an overlap between some mfi(4) drivers and the mrsas(4) driver,
and the mfi(4) probe happens first.
