I have just attached an HP 6000e external DDS drive (C1533A) as the one and only device on an Adaptec 2930W SCSI adapter that was already present when I installed FreeBSD (although it had nothing attached to it at the time). FreeBSD appears to be aware of the controller, but not of the drive. The SCSI BIOS on the adapter card sees the tape drive and recognizes it. All I have to do, it seems, is figure out how to persuade FreeBSD to see this drive. I assume I have to install a driver or enable something, but how? I didn't see any sign of a sa0 or nsa0 device in the kernel configuration file. What do I have to change or add?
