More user input. I don't have any way to help hunt this bug. ips(4) is
in need of a maintainer.

Hello,
i just thought about searching the open PRs for a possible help in my
issue using "ips" and saw yours.
Don't know if this will give clues to someone, but if that can be
helpful, here's what i experienced with Serveraid :
i tried to install 5.1 using jp snapshots floppies and i've been lucky
enough to access sysinstall, though i got a similar warning about
"ips0: failed to get configuration from device" at kernel startup.
Everything went ok : dedicated a whole RAID1 array ("dangerously"),
edited labels on it with the full automated option and could install a minimal
distribution set.
But upon reboot, mounting the root failed with something like "mount failed: 6"
and "can't find rootvp".
At that point, i'm left with a prompt giving a chance to point to the
right location, but things seem broken since the '?' option to show available
devices displays a lot of "dead" strings plus a few valid names.
I tried different variations around "*ipsd*" without luck.
I can't investigate further for now (my girl friend needs a workable
openoffice, so i'm back to gentoo on this machine). I downloaded IBM's
latest available support CD (v.6) and will give a try updating the
adapter's firmware to the latest ; i guess i could at least get rid of
the warning about the unretrievable config.
Oh ! i forgot to tell you the hardware i'm willing to use : an old
PCServer 330 and that ServeRaid card (don't know which series, but i
guess it's a 3sthg).
Please let me know if i can help testing...
Regards,
Francis.
