Trying to install 6.0-STABLE on a Supermicro 5014C-MT server with
a P8SCT motherboard.

Also installed is a 3Ware 9550SX sata raid controller.

The latest 6.0-STABLE snap from 12-08-05 does not have the version
of the TWA driver which supports the 9550SX so it would be necessary to
kldload the binary, available from the 3Ware web site.

Running sysinstall and navigating to Configure-->Load KLD
the installation fails as it complains: Cant find the floopy

The hardware appears to be good as it is possible to boot a dos floppy.

Have not been successful finding a more recent snap.. the changes for the
9550SX controller were about a day late to be included in the 12-08 snap :(

Any info in greatly appreciated

tnx
-kim
