    Adaptec HostRAID is not supported in FreeBSD as of now. I believe that
    HostRAID really means that the OS driver does all the work. The fact
    that the Linux driver is closed source supports this.

    I do believe it works fine, the only problem was with the "storcon"
    management utility, not with anything else.

    I will have the chance to test SRCZCR on a SE7501WV2 board soon and
