As it is an add-on it can still have a BIOS ROM. Likely prints some info on boot up? iirc Ctrl-M when its displaying takes you into some Marvell boot settings. If you can get that and switch it from RAID mode to AHCI (so its just a JBOD) it should work fine.
I've had problems in the past with SIS driver which took a flash to change its mode. Hopefully you can do it via software in the cards BIOS.

I thought that was the case; but hey, I don't know everything so I was more than willing to give it a try. The Rocket 622 doesn't have any option to get in to its BIOS settings on boot, and there are no firmware updates on their site. Unless it is possible to control how OI talks with that card (and I haven't found anything in the cfgadm or ahci man pages) then I'm stuck until that bug is fixed. _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
