Is this the ProSignia VS?  If so, I've got FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE running
on one of those things right now, and it has been running FreeBSD
since about 2.1.6-RELEASE.

You will probably have to set the MAXMEM option in your kernel config
and recompile the kernel to get it to recognize more than 16MB of
RAM.  I still have this in my kernel, but I'm not sure if it is
actually required anymore.  You'll know either way once you try.

This works with the lnc driver.

This controller does NOT work with FreeBSD as far as I know.  You can
install another supported ISA or EISA SCSI controller, however.
