Hi Gabriel...

If you search the archives, you will notice that *I* had the exact
same issue.  There is no longer support for the Smart-2/E controller
(or more generally, the EISA version of this controller.)

My "solution" was to dig around for a PCI version of the controller,
which IS supported.

# dmesg | grep ida
ida0: <Compaq SMART-2/P array controller> port 0x8000-0x80ff mem
0x42000000-0x43ffffff,0x40000000-0x400000ff irq 11 at device 0.0 on pci1
ida0: drives=2 firm_rev=4.48
idad0: <Compaq Logical Drive> on ida0
idad0: 12279MB (25149120 sectors), blocksize=512
idad1: <Compaq Logical Drive> on ida0
idad1: 24563MB (50306400 sectors), blocksize=512
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/idad0s1a
