Nope. (I should have made the clear in the first post, sorry.) I have
a working FreeBSD 6-STABLE on a SCSI disk connected to the onboard
controller. The kernel config is attached.

There are two sockets for flash ROMs on the card: U34 and U47. U34 is
empty, and U47 is labled:

   615156-F02
   V2.42
   U47

That'd be nice.  (Assuming that rev 2.42 of the ROM doesn't make this
a door stop.)  


Thanks.
