>Description:
Per http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2012-January/237252.html:


I transferred a PERC5/i controller to my NAS system, which is using a 
Sapphire mini-ITX board with an AMD M350 CPU.

It seems the card is detected but driver initialisation fails:

mfi0: <Dell PERC 5/i> mem 0xd0000000-0xd000ffff,0xfea00000-0xfea1ffff 
irq 96 at device 14.0 on pci2

>How-To-Repeat:
Boot the system
>Fix:
This would seem to be similar to discussions in November which 
eventually led to JHB committing change in r227580 (and perhaps earlier).

Not known if current mfi sources will work in 9.0-RELEASE.
