Hello. I have a Cisco UCS C220-M5 with a RAID controller. It calls itself
"Cisco 12G Modular Raid Controller with 2GB cache", PPID UCSC-RAID-M5.
Looking at the CIMC, it shows the PCI vendor/device ids 1000:0014, which
looks to be an LSI MegaRAID Tri-Mode SAS3516. It looks like this should
be supported by the mpr(4) driver, but it doesn't seem to recognize it
at boot time. Is there some magic I need to perform for the 12.1-RELEASE
image ISO boot to get this driver loaded, or will some internal changes
be needed to support this particular part due to quirks?
Let me know any information I can provide that will help diagnose. Thank
you.

Or for ISO booting you can manually load kernel modules at boot prompt. https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=loader%288%29 On a boot prompt: load [-t type] file ... boot Miroslav Lachman
