Hi,

I'm running snv_86 on a Tyan S2882-D.  This board has an onboard Sil3114 SATA 
controller which I have been using for my ZFS pool.  Now I am trying to use 
Xen, and I am told that it doesn't work with IDE mode disk drivers; but the 
3114 doesn't seem to have a native SATA mode (the BIOS just offers "Ultra" and 
"RAID" modes).  Besides, the 3114 is said to be slow and maybe a little flaky.

So okay, I can plug in a controller card.  (I have an Adaptec 1420SA handy -- 
would that work?)

But then comes the next question: how do I move the pool to the new controller? 
 Hand-editing /etc/zfs/zpool.cache seems, uh, daunting :)
