Hi all,

today I got my PWS 500a from the US (after 7 weeks waiting). Hooraay!!! 
The first Alpha in my life!
(Of course), I entcountered some problems of which most were solved by 
upgrading to 7.2 firmware.
The machine came with Adaptec AHA-2940UW Scsi controller. I wonder if it 
is broken since "show device" doesn't report it at all. And when I boot 
the 4.6 CD the installer says no disk found. I now removed the drive and 
controller and plugged in 2x1GB IDE disks I had lying around and 
everything went fine - I can boot FreeBSD off the IDE disk. Can somone 
point me to a solution for the Scsi problem?

Many thanks in advance,

Jan
