During installation from floppy my Compaq SMART-2DH Array Controller is not recognised by FreeBSD.

How-To-Repeat: Every time

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.
