I modified my approach a little bit.
When trying it on the mini image I first did a load mrsas and it told me it couldn't be found. So I then did a ls boot/kernel. Confirmed the mrsas.ko file was in fact in the directory.
I did a load /boot/kernel/mrsas.ko and it told me it couldn't load a module before the kernel... so I took the thumbdrive and created a /boot/loader.conf with mrsas_load="YES" and hw.mfi.mrsas_enable=1 in it. Now the system is up and running.
I went back and checked the FreeBSD-10.1-PRERELEASE-amd64-20140902-r270981-memstick.img image with same install approach... creating a /boot/loader.conf and started the install.
Both installs found the raid as da0 and installed perfectly. Now I have a working installation of FreeBSD.
So when I did a set hw.mfi.mrsas_enable=1 on the first attempt on the 10.1-PRERELEASE why didn't the mrsas driver load at boot and detect the raid as da0?
Thanks
Don
