    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
