Hello, I'm currently building a fileserver based on a 433MHz Miata Personal Workstation. I currently have it running 4.11-RELEASE before I upgrade to RELENG_5 from CVS in the coming days. I have an LSI MegaRAID 150-6 SATA RAID card combined with 4 x 250GB Hitachi SATA disks I wish to setup as a RAID5 array. The controller is appearing with the amr driver as amr0 during boot up, as expected. My problem is as follows. How can I access the MegaRAID card to create my RAID5 array since the PWS doesn't give me access to the MegaRAID BIOS via the Ctrl+M hotkey during th eboot up phase? Unfortunately, the PWS is the only system I have with a 64 bit PCI slot, which the MegaRAID card requires. On a slightly related note, is there a way for me to use such tools like LSI's Linux based MegaMGR [1] or amrcontrol [2], both of which appea rot only be available as x86 binaries, using some form of emulation?
