Great.  I'll have reason to do some linuxbios hacking soon.  I purchased 
some GIGABYTE GA-M57SLI-S4 setups to build a Multi-TB RAID server. Parts 
should arrive next week.  One goes into service with stock BIOS to get 
going ASAP and the other gets LB.

Ultimate plan is a LB based NAS with the only rotating media being the 
SATA drives.  Ward tells me there's still a bit 'o hacking to be done to 
all the get all the SATA slots up.  If I can I'd also like to upgrade 
the SPI flash part to as big as the chipset will support and if thats 
still not big enough to hold my kernel+rootfs then change to a USB nand 
drive.
