Which Adaptec in particular?

My GUESS is that you have a device in there which shares the same IO
space as the IX card, and that is causing wild pointer references in
the kernel. Try using the softset utility (from DOS) to change the
cards setup and use the userconfig boot option to correct FreeBSD's
view of the card and see if that fixes it.
