I did that and when i do a config mykernel i get
a warning saying

da0 is configured at scbus0 witch is not fixed at a single adapter.

the system has only one adaptec 1542 controller and standard
ide controllers with nothing plugged into the ide controllers
other than a cdrom on secondard slave.



is is still ok to compile a kernel with it?
