    Hello,

    I'm having a problem installing 5.3-BETA2 on this box with a Compaq
    Integrated SMART Array Controller. The install CD detects the array
    and I can partition, label, and install 5.3-BETA2 through the post-
    install configuration. However, when I reboot, the OS tells me,
    something to the effect, "OS not found".

    I've tried installing the FreeBSD boot manager, a standard boot
    record, and to leave the MBR untouched. I've also tried 4.9-RELEASE
    just to see if there was a problem with 5.3-BETA2. No matter what
    I try, I cannot get the Compaq BIOS to recognize the OS I just
    installed on the drive array.

    I must be missing something obvious, but googling and perusing the
    archives hasn't helped.

    Thanks for your assistance...

    Doug
