I am trying to install FreeBSD on an HP zx6000, and sysinstall can't
detect the disks when I attempt to partition the disk.
I have observed that while things boot towards sysinstall, the drive
is detected and the appropriate driver is loaded (mpt).
I've tried 8.0 and 7.3, and neither detect the disk. I've also
determined that the firmware is up to date, but here's the
information:
Firmware Revision: 2.31 [4411]
PAL_A Revision: 7.31/5.37
PAL_B Revision: 5.65

I've also tried wiping the disk with dd. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.
TIA,
Brett
