Hi,

I want to use an LSI MegaRAID 9260 on FreeBSD 8.2 amd64 using mfi and I =
have two quick questions:

LSI's MegaRaid SAS documentation [1] states that "Currently, the FreeBSD =
driver is supported only on 32-bit FreeBSD".  On the other hand the =
FreeBSD 8.2 hardware compatibility page [2] states that the mfi driver =
supports the MegaRaid 9260 in all three of the i386, ia64, amd64 ports.

Is LSI's documentation simply out of date or is there some issue with =
the mfi driver on amd64?

Lastly, they describe the installation process including rebuilding the =
kernel.  Is the mfi driver not built in and active by default?

Thanks,

Sam
