OK, some more mystery.


If I load it as a kld,

I see the device. (Note, I added MDT into the version string)

0{offsite2}# twe0: <3ware Storage Controller. Driver version
1.50.01.002MDT> port 0x2000-0x200f mem

twe0: make_dev() returned 0xfffffe0026581a00 (twe0)
twed0 on twe0
twed0: 953878MB (1953542144 sectors)

Start up the tw_cli client
