Compaq Proliant 370: how to make smart2 to be recognized

["Rahmat M. Samik-Ibrahim" <rms46@vlsm.org>]

Help:

I am trying to install a Compaq Proliant 370 (2 Pentiums
667 MHz, 512 Mbytes RAM, 2*9.1 Gig SCSIs).
 
(1) I have deleted the whole configuration, and tried to set
    RAID0 (and then RAID1) by using the Compaq CDROM.
(2) I have used the compact rescue and root disks from 
    potato 2.2r3; but it failed to init the smart drive.

I have tried to follow these following tips without luck.
Is there anything else that I can try?

thanks.

  "You must ensure that the driver "cpqarray" is loaded and
   that the devices nodes under /dev/ida/ present."

  "Mine looks like#boot: linux(image'compact'rescuediskette) 
   smart2=0x6000 sim710=addr:0x8000,irq:15

   You should know where your array is in terms of basememory adress. On 
   the proliant I have, it's the EISAslot number. i.e.: 6; basememory 
   adress=0x6000
   What kind of arraycontroller you need to fill in, I don't know. But 
   this must get you started.

   When you install LILO; DON'T install it in MBR! (another compraq 
   got me on that one). Make the compraq partition bootable 
   (/dev/ida/c0d0p3) and install LILO on you rootpartition
   (/dev/ida/c0d0p1). Then add to LILO the alternative of F10 and 
   it's location. And add what you did to show the kernel where to 
   look for the array, to append='here is the array and 
   onboard you bastard"
