I looked at fixing the driver but I am afraid I am a little out of my
depth with the changes and I don't have the card specs anyway.  I think
I have to look into using a supported card.  The config file mentions
these cards:

# RAID controllers and devices
#aac*   at pci? dev ? function ?    # Broken -- 32bit assumptions.
cac*    at pci? dev ? function ?    # Compaq PCI array controllers
icp*    at pci? dev ? function ?    # ICP-Vortex GDT & Intel RAID
mlx*    at pci? dev ? function ?    # Mylex DAC960 & DEC SWXCR family
twe*    at pci? dev ? function ?    # 3ware Escalade RAID controllers

I think I can get the 3Ware pretty quickly.  Anyone know of any problems
with it?  Would I be better off with one of the others?

Thanks.
