Setup does not detect SAN drives

I am trying to get my system to boot from SAN (BL460/EVA). I can load Windows on the local drive and load the drivers for the HBA - QMH2462 - and see the drives. BIOS is enabled. If I run Windows Setup from ISO, it doesnt see the SAN drives. I made a floppy image using bfi and the boot to san from http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=1844105&prodTypeId=3709945&prodSeriesId=1844104&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=1005 and when I have that mounted at Windows Setup, I get ql2300.sys is corrupt. I made a new image as well, same results. I am trying to dig up a real floppy drive to load from. I can mount my floppy image on another Windows blade and read the files just fine.

Any suggestions?

Re: Setup does not detect SAN drives

Are you trying to boot from SAN?
Zones are OK?
Host OS setup done in EVA CV?
