Hi,

I've just put an Adaptec 2940 in my system, and I've got this problem :

Normally boot from sd0.
However, when I do this with this controller I just get cycled between the 

F1 BSD
Default: F?

prompt.  Hitting F1 takes me back to this Default: prompt.

Now, if I put the installation boot disk in A:, and at the FreeBSD Boot
prompt type :

sd(0,a)/kernel

My system boots up fine.

Could someone PLEASE tell me how to fix this?  This is on my unstable
machine (hopefully this new controller will fix it), but it means if the
machine reboots it won't come back up properly.

Thanks,
Andrew
