Hi,
I'm thinking about setting up my server with OpenBSD and wondering
if I
can connect my Sun T3 fiber channel raid to the system using the
QLA2200
FC card that came with the raid. Before when I plugged it into an
OpenBSD
system it just hung on boot. The only firmware I could find on the
QLogic
site was for linux so put in into the firmware directory on OpenBSD
and
still hung (no suprises there really being a linux firmware). So
anyone
had any luck with a T3 raid and OpenBSD? Any luck with QLA2200's
and
OpenBSD? The system wouldn't boot with out the T3 raid connected to
the
controller either so guessing the card and OpenBSD don't get along.
Any hints?

A commit in late May or early June fixed a LOOOONG delay in booting
with the 2200 cards.
Ah now your talking. I can do LOOOOONG delays just not total
grinding to
a halt.
So tried again. Let the system try to boot for several (ok 3) hours.
It booted with the Sun T3 array connected. dmesg shows no ISP2200 card
or Sun T3 disk array.
Guess the ISP2200 driver is either broken under the sparc64 platform
or there is some other fault stopping it from working. Either way it
all works ok-ish under linux. Just can't stand to keep a tux running
my raid.
Try a -current snapshot.
Just the /bsd.mp right?

Either bsd o bsd.mp will have the new code in it. I don't recall
if it was just mp systems that had the amazing delay or not.
