i've seen some threads about this previously, specifically relating to the
AIC-7899 scsi controller...

my experience up to now has been with IDE, so i may be just making a silly
mistake here, but, what is happening is, i boot the 4.0-R kern and mfsroot
disks, launch into the installer, but it reports that no disks are
found. i can't see the bootup scroll quickly enough to tell if ahc0 is
being detected, and i don't see an ahc device in the pre-install kernel
config dialog. (i wonder if having it probe for aha will find this)?

i am thinking that it is finding the scsi controller, because it does wait
15 seconds for 'scsi devices to settle' before launching the installer.

any help on this is greatly appreciated.
