I was thinking I might avoid proprietary controller problems by
specifying a PE 1950 system with no HW RAID. Second mistake was not
studying the HW list myownself. I got the same controller, no RAID,
and now I learn that many shops are running FreeBSD fine on this
controller with multiple drives and RAID.
I am hoping to remedy the situation by ordering a second drive and
enabling, setting up RAID0.
'Hope this helps,
