      Hello Patrik!

   No, they don't show up in Boot Menu.

   Sure, but the NSD docs don't list warpdrive.device as supported device nor   
   found I an evidence that it is supporting large disks in general.   
      
   However, it seems as if I don't need just pfs-aoi, but also some other parts   
   of pfs. Hints are welcome! ;-)

   Well, I got my 7720U for a good price as well, otherwise I would have opted   
   for the ARS2000SUP, because of the SATA interface. Alas, I would have had the   
   same issues with WarpEngine and PFS then, I think... ;)
