Okay.  First, the Adaptec isn't supported under the core system.  Second,
the 3c589D has spotty results using the zp driver.

Solution:  Grab the PAO boot floppy from http://www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO.

Laptops are notoriously hard to configure for X.  Use the SVGA server and
if you're still having trouble contact freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org.  Try to
give them as much info about your display as possible (ie, LCD panel type,
video card as reported by X, etc.)
