OK, so, wiped FreeBSD for now and installed OpenBSD 4.4.  (Yeah, I know,
I could have used separate partitions and had both up.  I didn't, for
now.)  Won't boot off disk with the default bsd kernel; boots fine with
the bsd.mp kernel, but doesn't seem to see the array disks.

I look at dmesg and find three devices not configured:

"3ware 9000 series RAID" rev 0x00 at pci3 dev 3 function 0 not configured
"Intel 6300ESB WDT" rev 0x02 at pci0 dev 29 function 4 not configured
"Intel 6300ESB APIC" rev 0x02 at pci0 dev 29 function 5 not configured


This is the point at which I go back to the hardware compatibility list
for OpenBSD/amd64 and discover that I somehow misread the twe(4) entry.
 The OpenBSD twe driver supports 3Ware 5x00, 6x00 and 7x00 controllers
... but *NOT* 9x00 controllers.


*sigh*
Back to the drawing board....

But at least now I know it SHOULD run a BSD amd64 MP kernel.
