I have a problem with a ST39140W Seagate SCSI drive. I have two of these
attached to a BT-958 Mylex adapter and after a power outage one of them
wouldn't come back up.  I am getting a device not configured error when
trying to mount.

A copy of dmesg shows that the drive is recognized which in this case is
da1, but mount spits out the error not configured.

kernel: da0 at bt0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 
kernel: da0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device 
kernel: da0: 20.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15, 16bit), Tagged
Queueing Enabled 
kernel: da0: 8683MB (17783240 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1106C) 
kernel: da1 at bt0 bus 0 target 1 lun 0 
kernel: da1: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device 
kernel: da1: 20.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15, 16bit), Tagged
Queueing Enabled 
kernel: da1: 8683MB (17783240 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1106C) 

/stand/sysinstall also sees the drive, but when I try to configure through
the partition manager there is no data listed in the configuration screen.

I have also remade the device through MAKEDEV.  Of course I think this
probably is redundant since kernel sees the device, but is unable to
mount.

I am thinking at this point that the drive is just dead.  Any other advice
would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim Weeks
