I am currently attempting to install FreeBSD 4.8 (or 4.9) on a
Compaq Proliant 8000R with a Smart Array 3100ES Controller. I show
where 4.8+ is supposed to support the device, but I noticed it's
either not being probed properly at boot so that the kernel config
can assign drivers for it, or I need to add the device via CLI.

When I allow the kernel to accept the default devices, none of the SCSI
disks are present.

Is there something I'm missing here?
