Hi!
I'm trying to install 4.0-curr on compaq (proliant 6500) with
only 1 disk controller - Smart Array 3200. But I found that
kernel from kern.flp does not have drivers for this controller.
So, on another 4.0 machine I built kernel (took GENERIC, added
	device          ida
	device          id
configured and compiled it), gzipped it and put on kern.flp
instead of original kernel.gz. Then, I mounted mfsroot on /mnt,
"cd" to /mnt/dev and said "./MAKEDEV ida0", and put new mfsroot
on mfsroot.flp. Then I booted from those disks and installed
FreeBSD. (It found disk ida0). After installation I put modified
GENERIC kernel on /mnt and rebooted. Here is the log of boot:
(some kernel checks skipped)

What did I do wrong and how can I install (if can) FreeBSD
on my machine?
