Hi!
There's none for NetBSD at least until 3.0 release. There is however for
FreeBSD and just recently OpenBSD 3.8. I tried installing both 5.x/6.x for
FreeBSD, works fine. For OpenBSD, its quite slow for a RAID 5
configuration compared to FreeBSD.
I'm still hoping that HP/Compaq Smart Array 5/6i controllers be supported
by the mighty NetBSD in the not so distant future. :)
HTH,
Joseph
