Hello,

First of all, these mailinglist are new to me. But I presume this =
postings are being moderated so I'll just give it a try.

How about the support for the VIA vt8237 SATA controller? I read in =
HARDWARE.TXT of 4.9-STABLE that the chip is supposed to be supported. =
However the lastest available 4.9-STABLE from current.freebsd.org =
doesn't support it.
After reading the 4.9-STABLE-20040328-JPSNAP.log I learned this one =
hasn't been build due to insufficient harddrive space on the server.

It doesn't seem like a big issue to me, for the support to be ported =
(from OpenBSD perhaps?) to FreeBSD.
I would really love to see it working on 4.x.

So if someone would please port it, or supply me with the nessecary =
information to get this working, I'd really appreciate it.


Stefan
