Hi,

newbie here

I am trying  to build and configure a pure FTP server using openbsd 3.4 using IBM 
eServer, xSeries 305 and run hardware disk mirroring. The raid controller supplied 
is a LSI Logic ATA 133.  My problem is the driver disk supplied with does not have 
OpenBSD drivers nor does the LSI website. I noticed that LSI is on the donators 
list yet have not come across one LSI driver written for openbsd.

I created floppy boot disk using the "B" image which has Raid support yet it does 
not detect the controller which is fine as its not in hardware list for support.  After 
doing some research, I have found no mention of this card ever being installed on a 
BSD box before.  I am wondering if anyone can help in pointing me in the right 
direction of where i can look for this driver or if anyone has one?  

Secondly, if I was to get my hands on the driver, how would I load it before the 
install of the OS.  I know in Linux you can type "linux dd" duing the begining of the 
install to load addtional drivers, is the a way to do this with openbsd?

thanks,
