It is the second failure of this kind I saw reported under FreeBSD 4.5.
Note that everything works on my machine (Supermicro 370 DLE + 810A + 895
+ 896 + 1033-66) under this O/S version.

Btw, Il also have no Symbios driver problems under Linux. :)

The driver has been full source-stable since at least 1 year and haven't
had problems of this kind reported under FreeBSD 4.3 for example.

What happens is that a physical address used by the chip to DMA from the
PCI bus seems wrong. The failure happens during some simple checkings
performed at initialisation. The driver gets such address values from the
kernel BUS handling software.

Could you give a try with FreeBSD 4.3 and/or 4.4 installation and see if
it makes difference (as I wrote, these O/S versions have basically same
sym driver version as 4.5).
