mlx on sparc?

[Jan-Hinrich Fessel <oskar%fessel.org@localhost>]

I just installed an old mylex controller into my E250.  OBP declares  
it as raid, and netbsd finds it as
mlx0 at pci0 dev 5 function 0: Mylex RAID (v2 interface)
mlx0: interrupting at ivec 1c
mlx0: initializing (may take some time)...
mlx0: physical drive 0:0 not responding
mlx0: physical drive 0:4 not responding
mlx0: physical drive 1:1 not responding
mlx0: physical drive 1:3 not responding
mlx0: physical drive 1:5 not responding
mlx0: logical drive installation aborted
mlx0: initialization complete
mlx0: DAC960P/PD, 3 channels, firmware 2.70-0-00, 4MB RAM

but...
there is no inode for it in /dev, so I can't control it using mlxctl:
# mlxctl status
mlxctl: /dev/mlx0: No such file or directory
there is nothing in MAKEDEV* and also no entry in majors.sparc64, so  
this is no wonder at all.

Is this missing on purpose or is it just that these controllers are  
not supported or supposed to be used with netbsd sparc64?
Anyway, I just found that drive reconfig is not supported by mlxctl  
anyhow, so the controller will be of limited use...

Cheers
