Looking inside the machine I see the disk controller backplane connected via a single SCSI connector to what looks like an Adaptec 1790 card in the PCI bus. The Adaptec card has four external SCSI connectors. During boot, two Adaptec SCSI cards (one 1760 and one 1790) are detected, as well as the PERC2, and right after detecting the PERC2 it hangs. From your mail and a look at the machine I assume, then, that FreeBSD is correctly detecting the PERC2. This still begs the question, though, of what is causing it to hang, and what I might do about it. Any further help is greatly appreciated.
