Using fdsik. (1 Primary DOS and the other Extended - I plan to delete it for
freebsd but I could not go that far -:()

 No!! It is not wide. When I boot for the first time it gave that message :
Cannot initaie WIDE negotiation. So I set the WIDE negotiation to "no"
When I boot from 2.2-GAMMA it displays the message that internal50 and
internal68 cable is present. (I guess this is for non wide and wide)

 ST32155W is SCAM compliant. So 2940uw automatically set the ID to #15. Since
CDROM is not, I guess its intial settings corresponds to #0. If I disable the
SCSI select SCAM compliant "disable" it, ven the SCSI BIOS will not detect the
hard disk. This happened once.  I'll try your suggestion. Thanks!!

  I will.

  Does this means "Disabling SCAM support" ? 

Thanks for your time. I greatly appreciate it.
