You are right: the NetServer LC is an EISA/PCI system. The embbeded SCSI 
Controler is on EISA Bus, this an AIC 7770 Chip (Twin Channels).

In fact, after checking the kernel configurations, i discover there 
was in GENERIC of FreeBSD 2.1.0 the line :

controller      ahc1    at isa? bio irq ? vector ahcintr

This line as disappear in 2.1.5. My 2.1.0 Kernel boot with :

Aug  4 14:19:08 valerian /kernel: ahc1: Motherboard Twin Channel, A
SCSI Id=7, BSCSI Id=7, aic7770 >= Rev E, 4 SCBs

And PCI bus was probed after this. Now PCI is probed just at startup. 
Is discover also that EISA support as been changed. Im my GENERIC 
2.1.0 conf , there was no specific eisa line. Now i have :

controller      eisa0

But it seems that the eisa controler is not found.

Any clue ? Does someone use a HP NetServer LC with 2.1.5 ?
I will try with the boot floppy of 2.2-CURRENT, just to see ...
