AFAIK Perc H 200 should be supported by mps(4) which wasn't merged to =
stable/8 until after 8.2.

Unfortunately the latest official snapshots were before the driver was =
merged.  You could try first just to boot on the curent / FreeBSD 9 =
snapshots and see if it sees your disks at all.

You can get the snapshot from =
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201102/ .

I don't think there are any other snapshot services still running... so =
(assuming mps(4) actually works with H200) you need to make a build of =
stable/8 yourself - the simplest approach is probably to PXE boot the =
servers and install by hand... but that's of course not a trivial thing =
if you never tried it before.

I suspect there will be new official snapshots at some point, but I =
don't know when...
