Please bare with me. I am a newbie.
I am trying to figure out if AHCI is loaded or if it is even possible for me to use with my setup.
I have a VIA Nano U2250 and a VX800 chipset mainboard (VIA m'serv s2100).
I installed FreeBSD-8.1-RELEASE-amd64.
dmesg reports:
I followed sub.measa's guide here and here where it had me put
in my loader.conf file
I did some searching and found this thread that talks about SATA port multiplier support for the VX800 but mentions "limited support". This was back in April so not sure how relevant the thread is now.
The main goal is to setup a ZFS pool and from what I've read it seems you need to use AHCI.
I am too new to this to know what command to use to figure out if AHCI is being used or even possible to use. Please help!
