I tried to install 2.2.1 (you didn't say which version you were trying to 
install?) on a HP NetServer LD Pro overthe weekend.  2.2.1 detected both
of the aic7880 channels in the server just fine.  I think the LS used the 7770
chipset, correct?  I've used 7770 chipsets (not in HPs) with FreeBSD before,
and they were OK, so if you haven't tried 2.2.1 yet, I'd try that.

On the down side, my disks are on an AMI MegaRAID (also known as an HP
NetRAID), and that isn't recognized :)
