FreeBSD 3.0 has switched over to the CAM (Common Access Method) SCSI layer. This layer adds better compatibility, stability , performance, etc. but unfortunately requires a whole new set of low-level card drivers to be written. Drivers for the common cards (Adaptec, etc.) are there, but unfortunately not all of the cards that were supported by "old SCSI" are supported by CAM at this point. Looks like your integrated SCSI controller falls into this category. --- Donald Burr *NEW EMAIL ADDRESS!* | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ#16997506 | right to Address: P.O.
