Hi Gareth,
we are currently working on it in order to make FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE
recognize our PowerEdge 1850 Perc 4e/SI (not a PCI-Express one !!)
Next week we'll also test a Perc 4/DC on it
Basically, you just have to add it's pci signature to the amr driver.
The following patch applies to amr_pci.c (cvsup'ed)
It has not been thouroughtly tested so use it at your own risk - but so
far it has not made any glitches to us
