Back in the OpenSolaris days I had a similar problem with OSOL 2009.06 (build 111a) and a HP ProLiant ML350G5 server with a built-in SmartArray E200i controller: The live CD doesn't contain drivers for those cards, but on HP's website you can download them as a SVR4 package. Using Google I found a quite easy solution to get them working, although I don't know if this trick (still) works on OI: 1. Boot OSOL from the live CD 2. Activate / setup your network connection 3. Download the drivers 4. Open a terminal and execute the following command: %> pfexec touch /ADD_DRV_IGNORE_ROOT_BASEDIR Then you're able to install the SVR4 driver package via %> pfexec pkgadd -d /path/to/driver/package which is directly used and even installed on the server when you start the installation process.
