Well, I've come to the determination that a simple SATA card driver isn't working in FreeBSD/NAS,etc. I've tried everything. CentOS/Ubuntu/Redhat, etc. all work no problems, but I wanted to use ZFS which I was finally able to do with Ubuntu but I wanted to do this setup with FreeBSD but the driver wasn't there. I have a much more detailed setup of the information here with the errors, the card, etc. and was sent to this mailing list by one of the moderators there:
http://forums.FreeBSD.org/showthread.php?t=40894 The card is a 4-channel sata PCIe card model number SI-PEX40062. I plan to use three of them per system in another build to build two systems that mirror each other for a 12-drive RAIDZ3 mirrored storage test system. Hence the need for 4 ports per card, etc. It works great in the full 'nix flavors but I was hoping the BSD flavors would also favor it but it turns out for some reason this particular driver seems to be missing. Anyhow; here it is. There ya go. If there is anything else I can do to help. I'd be happy to use my hardware and a USB boot drive for testing for ya anytime...
