SCSI hardware/freebsd problem:

1.

I have an Adaptec 2940 PCI-SCSI-2 adapter that works just fine under FreeBSD
2.1 on a DEC Starion 960 PC (SCSI-2 hard disk drive + cd-rom).

The same adapter  works fine on a Compaq ProLinea 5100 (SCSI hard disk and 
cd-rom) under Windows 3.1, but it does not work when I try to install FreeBSD
from a CD-ROM distribution.

The installation fails because the adapter is not recognized. Booting with 
"-c" and setting manually the IRQ, Port Address, and other parameters didn't
help.

Known problem? Known solution?

2.

Any plans to add support for the AMD SCSI adapter that is embedded with 
Compaq DexPro 6200 XL?
