Most likely you need to get hold of a copy of the "Comaq SmartStart" CDs
for this machine to set it up to boot from an IDE drive, this will also
contain the Compaq Array Controller software which will enable you to
set up the 'BIOS' on the smart controller card to tun the array in the
way which you want to.
Try the Compaq website and see if you can find something there.

I have a Compaq Proliant 3000, w 6 18.2 SCSI disks I am building for a file
server for my department. I have installed an IDE HD 40gig to hold the OS so
as to reserve all the SCSI space for data. Problem is after installing twice
and messing around I find that the firmware in teh 3000's was not designed to
support IDE HD's. I can install to it, I assume it is that it just won't boot
to it. How do I build a floppy to just get the boot process tarted then look
to teh HD for kernel and os?
Does this make any sense to anyone?
