Subject: SCSI disk not being recognized
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
Precedence: bulk

I have checked further and I suspect that my PCI Adaptec 2940 is not being
found.  The 'hardware' doc on the CD lists this controller as device type
'ahc0', but the system does not seem to check for that when it boots.  Any
help would be most appreciated.

Thanks -- Stephen

Do I have to modify the kernel using boot: -c?  How do I get BSD to
recognize my SCSI hard disk (it is the only disk in my PCI system).
