Use a different controller other than Adaptec. FreeBSD has a problem
with their 2940 drivers with certain motherboards, where Linux, Win98,
WinNT, NetBSD etc doesn't.

When I have the problem you mention, I use BusLogic controllers. I happen
to use BusLogic BT-948UN though. Plug it in and it works!

That wouldn't happend to be a Pheonix BIOS would it ?
