 * 1. neither of the 2 SCSI busses has anything attached yet (disk drives will
 *    come in a day or two, they ordered drives separately, and no Wide
 *    drives here to try).

This shouldn't matter.

 * 2. SCSI BIOSes for 2 chips aren't configured correctly (just now
 *    it has "BIOS enabled" in SCSIconfig for the first chip and
 *    "BIOS disabled" for the second, should be Ok?)

This shouldn't matter either.  You will never have to enable BIOS
unless you plan to boot from a disk on that bus.

 * 3. 2.2.1 has some problem with two PCI busses? (while both AICs are
 *    on the second bus??? or on EISA???) What I see at boot
 *    after the "Probing devices on the pci:0 bus" message:

It might be that it can't recognize the PCI-PCI bridge.  What do the
markings on the chip say?  I know FreeBSD can deal with DEC and IBM
chips.

 * chip0 <generic PCI bridge (vendor=8086 device=1225 subclass=0)> \
 * 	rev 2 on pci0:0
 * chip1 <Intel 82375EB PCI-EISA bridge> rev 5 on pci0:14
 * pci0:15:0: Intel Corporation device=0x0008, class=0xff, subclass=0x00 \
 * 	[no driver assigned]

Boot with "-v" and send the output to se@freebsd.org.  You may want to 
hack /sys/pci/pcisupport.c by yourself (grep for "IBM") to see if you
can get it to work.

 * ....^^^^....
 * 	This last message is repeated exactly for all pci0:15:[0-7]
 * 	values.

This is quite weird though.  Sounds like a multi-function chip
misprobed.
