Many Adaptec cards give different PCI identifiers in RAID mode vs standard
mode.  Also, generic Adaptec cards tend to give different PCI identifiers
than their OEM counterparts.

If you could install onto a plain-jane 9GB drive (hooked up to a 2940 or
something other than the 7899 controller), then the device probe upon
startup would tell us how FreeBSD is detecting your 7899 card in RAID mode.
