Did a google for "isp0: Polled Mailbox Command (0x2) Timeout" and the =20 3rd item to come up was, I think, your answer. http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=3D15842+0+archive/2001/freebsd= -scsi/20010729.freebsd-scsi It says you need to load the firmware for your scsi from /boot/=20 loader.conf to boot.
