I just got my fbsd 4.3 cd's in the mail, and i want to start off with a fresh install on my server, on my 2.7G Seagate ST43400N (doubles as a _very_ large paperweight).  I 
am running and all in one (read el-cheapo) k6-266 mb.  I have a adaptec 1522 scsi controller (it is the same as the 1520, however it is the floppy interface on it which is 
disabled, and is one of the first production cards as it has no p-n-pray on it).  it is @ port 0x340,irq11(have dm0,irq11 assign to legasy/isa in bios), it detects fine when it 
is probed, and it detect the hard drive too.  the card & the drive as both terminated on either end (the drive side is terminated with a 50 active, and i have terminator 
power jumpered "on" on the hd itself). the problem is when i try to partition the drive, it wont bring up da0 (or any drives for that matter), which is a problem.  I am sort of 
stumped, I've used fbsd as a server for about 3 years now (granted i rarely hack into since it always brings up the dod ppp and smtpd faithfully) so i am not a total moron.
the drive and card worked Aok in my win98se box until i pulled it and got a 30g ide.  the only other thing i can think of is that i tried to Dangerously Dedidate it as a 2nd 
drive b4, which means no partition table, but i was under the impression that fbsd accessed everything as low level as possible...  

thanx in advance.
