   Someone was confused.  There is no MCA support in FreeBSD right now, and
   unless someone volunteers to do it or there is an effort that we are not
   aware of there will probably never be MCA support in FreeBSD.

I'm not so sure of that.  I remember hearing that someone had FreeBSD
running on an MCA machine, and were going to give back the work
necessary, but then dropped off the air..  Rod was liasing with that
person and I don't really know what became of the whole effort (that is
to say, it could be alive and lurking just around the next corner, or
stone dead).
