Although the physical disks are present and recognized by the BIOS the sysinstall does not see the disks. I think the issue is mfi driver and was added to the stable release May 18, 2012. http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mfi&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+8.3-RELEASE I do not have an environment to download the source and make my own installation disk. The 8.3 image on the ftp site is dated April 9, 2012 and the 9.0 is Jan 2012. Is there some place I can download an amd63 iso that was includes the mfi driver update done on May 18, 2012? Or perhaps that is not really the issue at all - any help that anyone can provide will be welcome!
