>Release:        FreeBSD Version 4.0, Walnut Creek with Rockey Ridge Extensions
>Organization:
25th Infantry Division, US Army Hawaii
>Environment:
Attempting to install on Dell PowerEdge 4350/550 Rackmount server.  Cannot get started.  Never worked with FreeBSD before.  Assuming issue is controller - Adaptic AIC-7890 scalable Narrow SCSI with PERC 2 configuration controller.  Standard server hardware with Dell Power Edge Server.
>Description:
Attempting to use full screen setup utility.  Upon boot of system to CD-ROM, system displays all drives on system as created with SCSI Management feature.  Window selection for configuration is displayed and visual mode is selected.

Active devices in visual mode are displayed for SCSI and narrow controllers but there are no settings to change, only flags.  No Base I/O or IRQ when selected can be changed.

When select to continue with installation, sys install window appears correctly but when any selection to start the rest of the installation is selected, a window appears indicating that no disks have been found.
>How-To-Repeat:
Problem is consistent on all versions that I have attempted.  Only have 4.0 and 5.0 Versions on hand.
>Fix:
Unknown
