I'm looking for a new server to replace our firewall/routing.    Would like to ask if PERC H745 is supported.    mfi(4) lists             -   Dell PERC 5/e, PERC 5/i, PERC 6/e, PERC 6/i, PERC H310, PERC                 H700, PERC H800    Is this ok?    Trying bsd.rd on a newer server with H755, it was NOT detected.  On Linux it is shown as  65:00.0 RAID bus controller: Broadcom / LSI MegaRAID 12GSAS/PCIe Secure SAS39xx          DeviceName: SL3 RAID          Subsystem: Dell PERC H755 Front    That is on 7.4, didn't try current.    However the BOSS-S1 adapter with 2 x M.2 sticks was detected    How about HBA330 Mini and/or PERC H730P Mini ?    About CPUs, I'm between Intel Xeon Gold 5315Y @ 3.20GHz vs AMD EPYC 72F3  Both are 8 cores, I will put 2 x cpus. Haven't tried EPYC at all but looks more performant.    G    
  Hi,    don't go with BOSS adapter or HBA330. I have both adapters in lab and  they just don't work.  I have working OpenBSD on PERC H740p, PERC H740P Mini, PERC H330 mini,  PERC H310 Mini. I can't remember but I think that H730p should work.  
  also working: PERC H710 Mini, PERC H755 Front (both mfii)  

Thanks Hrvoje and Stuart all for the valuable info.

There are so many adapters given/updated by Dell every year, maybe we should update the man pages to add the working ones?

My BOSS-S1 Modular adapter is detected both on 7.4 and current.
PERC H755 Front is indeed also detected with current. I'm sure it was not with 7.4 when I tried yesterday.

This is today dmesg with current (20 Mar) from R650xs:
