Yeah, just one controller, a Tyan one (obviously oem'ed from NCR).
All three have partition tables made by dos, but only one has
an active dos partition.  Actually, that's not true, FreeBSD made the 
partition tables on the first 2 disks, dos only did the third one.

According to the doc from NCR, the lowest scsi id boots, but I'd hoped 
that the boot sector thing (bteasy) would fix that.  Bteasy is installed, 
but it only allows F1 to boot (the FreeBSD first disk).
