After giving up on getting FreeBSD running on an HP rebranded with a custom
BIOS WD1007 in an HP Vectra, I ordered an Adaptec 1542 and tried again with
a couple of 300 MB CDC SCSI drives we had lying around.

Now it's not seeing the drives.

Is there a problem with newer Adaptec 1542s (I sort of heard there was) or
should I chalk this up to HP brain damage and look for another machine?

I suspect HP brain damage, 'cos it won't boot DOS on the 1542 (boots FreeBSD
fine, kudos to y'all)...
