Hi,
Pardon me if I seem ignorant here but I am new to the list and
procedures of Freebsd...
I've recently purchased a bunch of new supermicro servers with 3ware
9650 SATA RAID controllers in them. The freebsd 6.2 install is
painstaking because the driver source in Freebsd is not current with
the latest twa driver source from 3Ware. As a result, I have had to
build custom install CD's with the driver on them so that I can
manually load them in the boot loader. It's a pain. I don't know if
the same issue exists in Freebsd 7 but some of us are not going to
want to move our production environments to Freebsd 7 for a while...
What is the procedure for getting the latest twa source patched into
the Freebsd 6.2 source tree? It's freely available from 3Ware here
and takes all of 45 seconds to patch in:

Thanks,
