The frankenbox I'm testing on is a retrofitted 1U (it had a scsi
backplane, now has none).
I am not certain, but I think with 8.1 (which it's running) and all the
cam integration stuff, hotplug is possible. Is a special backplane
required? I seriously don't know... I'm going to give it a shot though.
Oh, you also might get NCQ. Try:
[root at h21 /tmp]# camcontrol tags ada0
(pass0:ahcich0:0:0:0): device openings: 32
