Hi folks;

I have a new Intel ICH7 board here that has Quad-core support.

It works well EXCEPT....

It has an on-board RAID controller with some internal buffer memory.

I'm not all that interested in using it as a RAID adapter.  I am, however,
interested in using it as a disk adapter, as a way to both spread load AND
benefit from its cache memory.

Unfortunately, BTX panics if I attach a disk to it!  I have no idea if
FreeBSD would see the disks as just "normal" "ad" disks, as I can't get
anywhere near that far to find out...

Any ideas?  Why would BTX throw a hissy fit?
