>Description:
I try to boot with a 3.3 kern.flp image but it can't find my Smart Array 3200 Controller, i can't even find it in the kern configuration menu.
I 'm not very easy with FBSD as i WAS a BSDI user, but i'd like to go on with it....
My machine is a Compaq Proliant 3000 (PII 500 / 512 M)... Thanks in Adv

 You may wish to go to:
 
   http://testdrive.compaq.com
 
 and get more information from there.  Compaq
 is unofficially supporting FreeBSD.  The
 Dual Xeon PII@450MHX that they list is undoubtedly
 a Proliant with an array controller.

 What U need to do, is to have someone build a kernel for you, with support
 for the Compaq RAID controller (IDA device), then you copy that kernel to
 the kern.flp floppy, and boot with that one instead. Before booting your
 machine after installing, you change to the Virtual console started (ALT+F4)
 and then goto /sys/i386/conf and make a kernel with the IDA controller,
 before you reboot. Then everything should work.
 
 Im making an entry for the handbook this very moment, so look out for more
 info on the IDA drivers/software.

State-Changed-When: Sun Apr 16 06:54:39 PDT 2000 
State-Changed-Why:  
This device is supported in -CURRENT and the relevent changes will 
be backported to 4-STABLE once they have had sufficient testing 
in -CURRENT. 

It is unlikely that the driver will be extended to allow support of this 
device in 3-STABLE.
