I dropped in a Adaptec 2940UW controller with a Quantum 700 and a SyQuest EZ135 (I recycle old SCSI devices) :-). These drives worked fine on another system that was installed from the ground up. I go into /stand/sysinstall and choose "Custom" Partition the drives Disklabel each drive: Quantum as /stuff, SyQuest as /rd Commit requires me to add some distribution so I choose the info distribution. The Info pages get written, but the drives don't get added. What am I doing wrong?
