First boot didn't find it aic7870.
Second one (Ctrl-Alt-Del) find it, but very strange:
(all this messages not appearse at the first boot)

Mar 22 15:04:50 test /kernel: Probing for devices on the PCI bus:
Mar 22 15:04:50 test /kernel: pci0:0: vendor=0x10b9, device=0x1451, class=bridge (host) [no driver assigned]
Mar 22 15:04:50 test /kernel: chip0 <Intel 82375EB PCI-EISA bridge> rev 4 on pci0:6
Mar 22 15:04:50 test /kernel: ahc0 <Adaptec aic7870 SCSI host adapter> rev 0 int a irq 10 on pci0:10

Mar 22 15:04:50 test /kernel: ahc0 waiting for scsi devices to settle
Mar 22 15:04:51 test /kernel: (ahc0:0:0): "IBM DPES-31080 S31Q" type 0 fixed SCSI 2
Mar 22 15:04:51 test /kernel: sd0(ahc0:0:0): Direct-Access 1034MB (2118144 512 byte sectors)

Controller BIOS comes first correctly in both cases and assign C: to disk.
Next hard reboot did not find it again.
It happens on both 2.1 and -current with equal messages.

Any ideas?
