I don't think that any driver exists for the embedded SCSI controller
on Proliant [124]000 machines. It's a long time since I looked at this,
but far as I remember they use an NCR 53c7xx chipset for which no
FreeBSD driver exists. There seems to be a Linux one but I don't wish
to run that.

The SMART controller will be OK. I have no idea what sort of Ethernet
NIC the NetFlex-2 really is and don't believe that there is any free
Unix driver support for it.

The eisa0:8 message is harmless. It's because the SMART controller driver
dates from FreeBSD 2.1.0 and doesn't yet know about the current method
for probing EISA slots. It needs an update to tidy it up but should be
OK for now.

I don't think that would make a difference.
