I have gone through many iterations of configuring the card and changing 
scsii numbers on the drives.  still when i get to the novice menus it 
says i have no disks and tells me the controller card is misconfigured.

i am brand new to unix and freebsd.  i thought i saw somwhere where i can
put a custom configuration ini type file on my startup boot disk.
my problem is that i have no other machine that can read the disk to install 
the file :(  are there any other suggestions save get an ide controller 
in the machine and install an idea drive and ide cd rom drive?
that would be a bummer.
thanks
Eric
