Hi folks,
I recently bought a new motherboard for use as a fileserver (MSI X48 Platinum) which has 4x SATA internal ports (controlled by ICH9) and 2x additional internal ports controlled by Silicon Image 5723. I had assumed after reading that this would be EHCI compatible and thus would work out of the box for installing FreeBSD onto (I'm trying to decide between 8.2-RELEASE and 9.0-CURRENT at the moment).
I am aware that the chip is not directly supported through the list of supported hardware, but was wondering if I'm barking up the wrong tree trying to get this working.
(BTW, it shows up as ad4 in 8.2 and ada0 in the 9.0 installer, but refuses to install using it).
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
