a question about scsi installs



hello debian developers,

i am new to this list. i have been following it for the past week
or so (as suggested on the debian web help page) to learn
more about how the process works and how i might be able
to contribute to debian in the future. i think you guys and gals
are doing wonderful work!

in the meantime i have a problem i am hoping y'all might
be able to help me with. i have already posted the question
to the -users list, but have not received any replies.

i would like to install debian on a dell poweredge 4300 with
a PERC/2 SC raid scsi controller from AMI. as far as i know
there is no support during a debian installation for this card.
there is support for this from red hat for their installation,
however i would prefer to use debian. there is a driver
available from the manufacturer of this card, however
it does not appear to be on any debian installation media
or software.

is there support planned for this card during installation in
the future, or is there some way currently, to bootstrap to a
point where i can install the driver?  tips, suggestions, rtfms
with a pointer to the fm are all welcome. your help would be
greately appreciated.

if this is not the right list to post this question to, i apologize
and would appreciate a pointer to the correct forum to
address this issue.

thanks in advance,

//daryl
