I had exactly the same problem. As far as I know you cannot load array driver before installation in OpenSolaris. You can do it in Solaris and SXCE.
but.... What I did is: 1. I extracted cpqary3 driver from drivers package from HP site (1.91) 2. installed newest OpenSolaris which was 101b 3. installed distro_const 4. edited one of the distro_const scripts where I put the driver in microroot which is prepared for install disk 5.run the distro_const After that I got OpenSolaris install iso from which you can install system on SmartArray hardware just like on any other hard disk supported out of the box by osol. If you want some more detail about it, I can provide you ... Simon -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
