The RAM problem is easy to fix, once you've installed.  Just
look add a MAXMEM=(128*1024*1024) option when you reconfig
and rebuild a kernel.

Your Adaptec SCSI controller not being recognized might be
that it is a 2940AU.  Support for this controller didn't make
it in to FreeBSD-2.1.5.  It is supported in FreeBSD 2.1.6
and subsequent, though.

Hmm, what do you mean when iyou say that the SCSI controller
is recognized, but not assigned?
