I have just imported the mfi(4) and mfiutil(8) into a 9.0-RELEASE tree to try 
this out.

When booting up with two fresh drives attached, they show up as usable JBOD 
disks. However, I cannot use mfiutil to create anything with them. Every drive 
gives

   "mfiutil: Drive n not available"

Is this expected behaviour? How can I create a raid1 volume using mfiutil and 
clean disks?

I tried using MegaCli from the LSI website (versions 8.02.16 and 8.02.21), but 
they can't even detect the controller. I know you said at some point that a 
very recent version of MegaCli was required. What version is necessary?
