Well, I removed everything except 
the controller and device lines,
and that is what I got:

} controller	isa0
} controller	pci0
} controller	wdc0	at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr
} controller	wdc1	at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr
} controller	fdc0	at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr
} controller	scbus0	#base SCSI code

} device	sd0	#SCSI disks
} device	cd0	#SCSI CD-ROMs
} device	sc0	at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector scintr
} device	npx0	at isa? port "IO_NPX" irq 13 vector npxintr
} device	lpt0	at isa? port "IO_LPT1" tty irq 7 vector lptintr
} device	sio0	at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector siointr
} device        sio2    at isa? port "IO_COM3" tty irq 5 vector siointr

There is no SCSI controller ...

You need to add a line for your
Adaptec, or the PCI probe won't
have a driver available to assign
to the card, and that is what the
boot message talked about:

pci0:18: Adaptec, device=0x7178, class=storage (scsi) [no driver assigned]

The GENERIC kernel contained the
"device ahc0" line, and the probe
printed 

ahc0 <Adaptec 2940 SCSI host adapter> rev 0 int a irq 11 on pci0:18

when it identified the driver to
use for the PCI card with above 
PCI device ID ...


While PCI is "plug'n'play", you 
still need the driver compiled into
the kernel, currently

But with PCI it might really become 
possible to demand load the driver
at boot time ...
