I have a stack of old Pentiums and IDE drives.  I'm trying to build a
few cheap file servers (thank you ccd(4)!).  I put the Promise
controller into the machine, added drives to it (which the controller
recognized), made the following changes to the kernel config (straight
from LINT)

controller     wdc2    at isa? port "0" bio irq ? flags 0xa0ffa0ff
disk           wd4     at wdc2 drive 0
disk           wd5     at wdc2 drive 1
controller     wdc3    at isa? port "0" bio irq ? flags 0xa0ffa0ff
disk           wd6     at wdc3 drive 0
disk           wd7     at wdc3 drive 1

rebuilt the kernel, and rebooted.  loader(8) sees the drives but the
kernel says the following:

wdc2 not found at 0
wdc3 not found at 0

I tried changing both "0" to ? but then the kernel says:

wdc2: not found
wdc3: not found

I've looked in all the usual places and have found no docs that helped.
Any help you can give would be much appreciated.

TIA,

P.S.  Anybody ever use the Promise FastTrak66.  Does it work under
FreeBSD?  Does it work as advertised?

P.P.S.  Forgot the particulars:
3.4-STABLE (cvsup(1) last night.  I know, I know.  4.0-STABLE.)
Pentium 233MHz MMX, 64MB
Tyan S1571
Western Digital Caviar 22100 (only a test drive)
