I've got an IBM x3400 with a ServeRAID 8k card. I've configured two RAID

However, only the first is seen as ld0, there's no ld1. What gives?

I don't know off-hand, but I'm willing to look at it.  I've been meaning
to set up a second ld on my Dell PowerEdge aac(4).

As suspected, this was down to lack of 64-bit array support in our driver (arrays < 2TB were recognised fine).

A patch is here:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/sborrill/aac64bit.diff

It would useful for someone with an aac that _doesn't_ support 64-bit arrays to test the patch, i.e. the flags list should not include DATA64

Here's one that does:
aac0: Controller supports: 17055d<SNAPSHOT,WCACHE,DATA64,HOSTTIME,WINDOW4GB,SOFTERR,SGMAP64>

I'll commit this soon.
