Motherboard has Marvell 88SE9230 Storage Controller... ESXi install can't see any drives.

I'm trying to get ESXi installed on a system with a SuperMicro X9SBAA-F motherboard.

 

I've overcome the "no keyboard" issue (due to all ports being USB 3.0) by installing over IPMI (also tried PXE) and using ks.cfg.

 

However, I can never get ESXi installer to see my drive (WD RED 1.0TB) via the onboard 88SE9230 controller.  I found a Japanese website which had a VIB that supposedly helps that and similar Marvell controllers, I rebuilt the ISO but still no luck.

 

The Chipset is over a year old, but surprised that it's not yet supported... either that or I am missing something.

 

Any suggestions to get the installer to see the drive are appreciated!
