Just wanted to say that I'm running FreeBSD/i386 6.1-STABLE on two Dell PE 1950's
without any problems. The only thing I had to do was update the bce driver for
the NIC, but other than that the mfi RAID controller is detected properly, as well
as the SAS disks and RAID array. The only difference I can think of is perhaps
the firmware and BIOS versions

Attached is the dmesg output from one of the two 1950's I've got.

with regards,
