Did some research and it appears that these IBM servers using ServRAID 
use the IPS Scsi host adaptor.

Anyone know if 4.9 supports this or if there is a way to load the 
driver a different way?

I do appreciate it.

Hello everyone.

Running into a bit of a problem installing 4.9 on a IBM X series server.

The server has 3 SCSI drives with a servRAID card. I have RAID 5 
configured on it.

4.9 did not detect the drives, so im wondering if it even supports it 
or if there is a driver I can d/l to use and boot to it.

Here is some output from a second server running *coughLinuxcough*:

Hi Jason- this may not be of any direct help, but could be worth a 
shot.  Looking at your Linux boot messages, it looks like your firmware 
and driver versions are off.  I've seen this cause a fair number of 
issues- you should be able to get a flash disk on IBMs support site, as 
well as the updated Linux driver at least.  I suppose the big question 
is what version of the firmware the BSD driver wants?
