Hey,

I have a need to get some large yet cheap storaged attached to a Sun Blade 
2000, but SATA HBA driver support on SPARC appears to still be nonexistant. So 
I hit eBay and scored for peanuts an LSI SAS-3800X PCI-X SAS HBA, which works 
fine at the OS level using the bundled mpt driver and allows me to leverage the 
backward compatibility to get SATA spindles online. So far so good. 

However, does anyone know if these support FCODE installed so that any 
functionality (probe-scsi at worst, full boot capability at best) will be 
available at the OBP level?  Not a dealbreaker since it will be used for a data 
zpool housing a RAIDZ, but I'm curious as to how well these cards can behave 
with OBP for future reference.

Thanks

-A
