The CMD MSCP controllers arent supported though, there's something about 
them that crashes the system pretty quickly using one. i havent tried 
since 1.5S but it had been a long-standing bug at that time. The CMD's do 
something strange, e.g. there was in older CSRG BSD some patch one had to 
apply to get the bootblocks to boot from CMD mscp-scsi controllers too.
