IBM server SAS controller support?

[Christian Thørn Bakken]

I've now added the mfi_load option to loader.conf

At boot this gives me the following message:
module_register: module mfi/mfid already exists!
Module mfi/mfid failed to register: 17
This leads me to believe that the driver is already compiled into the kernel, as stated by SpamTitan.

The installation procedure still can't find any disks!

Are there any other things I could try? Obviously it can be done, but I'm apparently not capable of doing it.

Any suggestions, anyone?
