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...I expected them to turn up in PCs and alphas but not sparc boxes! It should be as simple as adding it to majors.sparc64 and then the MAKEDEV template under etc/etc.sparc64. I don't know if mlxctl has been run on a big- endiansystem before.
I'll give it a try today or tomorrow.Does anyone have docs on the drive config commands for the controller? In case it is working, I might invest some time to make it useable...
An, what RAID controllers do actually work on sparc?
