Hello,
I ran into a similar problem with install of 4.1 Release on a Compaq Smart
Array 431. It seems there where patches to the ida driver to recognize
controllers that probe as DEC/Compaq ....
There was a fix for it sometime AFTER 4.1 release. I didn't try your
method, but instead built floppies and did an ftp install from the
7/31/2000 stable snapshot. That worked just fine.
Btw -- thanks to all the folks that responded to my query on this problem
last week :)

Subject: sysinstall and compaq smart raid disks (idad)
hi,
don't know if this is helpfull, but i had to add the
following two lines to
/usr/src/release/sysinstall/devices.c and recompile
sysinstall, so it will recognize the idad disks for
fdisk/disklabel operations.
{ DEVICE_TYPE_DISK, "idad%d",
"Compaq SMART RAID adapter", 29, 65538, 8, 16, 'b'
},
{ DEVICE_TYPE_DISK, "ridad%d",
"Compaq SMART RAID adapter", 109, 65538, 8, 16, 'c'
},
seems odd, as at some point i think i read that 4.1
installation supports the smart raid devices out of
the box (i.e. both in kernel and sysinstall)...
