	If you have SCSI devices, be aware that they switched to something
called CAM -- (Common Access Method???)  Anyway, I'm no expert about
it's strengths. (Try http://www.freebsd.org/~gibbs for the gory details ).

	Just be warned: if you rely on an aic driver (such as aic152x),
you are SOL.  CAM won't support it, and you can't opt out of CAM.  I have
heard rumors that someone is working on it, though. aic is not aha, so if
you have aha, I think you're fine.

	Anyway, you probably don't have to worry about it. Just thought I
get the warning out.  And with CAM, your devices look like daX and saX
instead of sdX and stX.
