	This just says "ahc0", which doesn't tell us if it's the on-board 
AIC-7890 controller, or a Adaptec 2940U2W controller that has been 
added.  I suspect he wants more details about what ahc0 is.

	That said, I've got no problems with 4.0-STABLE (cvsup'ed within 
the last two or three days) on a Dell 1300/450 SMP with an on-board 
AIC-7890 and two additional Adaptec 2940U2W controllers, at least not 
with /stand/sysinstall claiming they don't exist.  I've got some 
weird SCSI errors under stress that I haven't yet been able to pin 
down, but the OS recognizes that the drives are there and I was able 
to disklabel them, etc....
