Well, I removed everything except the controller and device lines, and that is what I got: } controller isa0 } controller pci0 } controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr } controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr } controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr } controller scbus0 #base SCSI code } device sd0 #SCSI disks } device cd0 #SCSI CD-ROMs } device sc0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector scintr } device npx0 at isa? port "IO_NPX" irq 13 vector npxintr } device lpt0 at isa? port "IO_LPT1" tty irq 7 vector lptintr } device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector siointr } device sio2 at isa? port "IO_COM3" tty irq 5 vector siointr There is no SCSI controller ... You need to add a line for your Adaptec, or the PCI probe won't have a driver available to assign to the card, and that is what the boot message talked about: pci0:18: Adaptec, device=0x7178, class=storage (scsi) [no driver assigned] The GENERIC kernel contained the "device ahc0" line, and the probe printed ahc0 <Adaptec 2940 SCSI host adapter> rev 0 int a irq 11 on pci0:18 when it identified the driver to use for the PCI card with above PCI device ID ... While PCI is "plug'n'play", you still need the driver compiled into the kernel, currently But with PCI it might really become possible to demand load the driver at boot time ...
