RAID status on PowerEdge 2600 with Perc 4/DI

[benkovsky at nextra.cz]

Hi, folks,

I apologize if I ask a faq, but I did not find anything about
the subject.

I have a Dell PE 2600 with LSILogic PERC 4/Di RAID controller. 
FreeBSD 4.8 detects the status of the RAID during the boot fine:

amr0: <LSILogic MegaRAID> mem 0xfebf0000-0xfebfffff irq 11 at device 8.0 on pci8
amr0: <LSILogic PERC 4/Di> Firmware 2.20, BIOS 1.03, 128MB RAM
....
amrd0: <LSILogic MegaRAID logical drive> on amr0
amrd0: 349390MB (715550720 sectors) RAID 5 (degraded)
....
pass0 at amr0 bus 0 target 6 lun 0
pass0: <PE/PV 1x6 SCSI BP 0.29> Fixed Processor SCSI-2 device 

I would like to get the information about degraded status / disk removal
in /var/log/messages without a need to reboot the machine, but I could not find
how - ses does not work or I am doing something stupid.

Is there currently a way to do so?

Thank you for any help,
