If this machine has a DEC Smart Array chip, then you'll need to get a
newer kernel than the one in 4.1-R, support for this was added a few days
after the cd's shipped. Getting a newer kernel should be easy; just take
the floppy containing kern.flp, mount it on an existing freebsd box, and
copy a new kernel to it (obtained from compilation or a -stable snapshot).
