Subject: Sysinst won't install onto ld0 on NetBSD 4.0 Beta 2

I'm installing NetBSD 4.0 Beta 2 onto a new-to-me Dell PowerEdge 2450.
It's got the RAID card (PERC 3/Si, aac0) installed, and I have confirmed that
the install media can read and write to ld0 from the install media
(fdisk, disklabel, and newfs all work). However, the installer won't
see ld0 as a valid install disk. sysinst says "no valid disks".

I wasn't able to capture the dmesg yet, since the system booted over
VGA, but I will do that if someone needs the output.

Is NetBSD 4.0 unable to boot off of the ld0 given by the PERC 3/Si,
or can anyone suggest a way to fix this?

Thanks,
David
