Hi:

I have a similar problem. A PCI/EISA combo bus on a Dell Omniplex 466,
houses an NCR 53C810 SCSI controller, and a 3c509 is sitting on the EISA.
The freebsd 2.1.0 boot doesnt recognise the 3c509 sitting on the EISA bus of
the PCI/EISA combo, though it does recognise the NCR and the SCSI disk on
it. Any help/advice/suggestions will be appreciated.

thanks

rv
