SCSI drive O is the boot drive and SCSI 1 is a data drive. SCSI 6 is a RAID device. The two drives we are installing are Quantum Viking II. After setting their SCSI addresses to 2 and 3 and rebooting the adaptec controller BIOS recognizes the new drives but FreeBSD complains about the filesystem and refuses to boot up. The Quantum drives are self terminating. At boot all we can do is enter the sh shell. The only file system mounted is / The data drive and raid drives do not mount. After taking the two new drives off the chain all boots normally and the server is it usual wonderful self. Thoughts?
