I have a new machine here, so I'm trying to get used to a new config.
I definitely need some help.

I have an ncr controller, with 3 scsi disks:
scsi id 1 == 2.1 G, dedicated to FreeBSD (/, swap, /usr)
scsi id 2 == 2.1 G, dedicated to FreeBSD (swap, /usr2)
scsi id 4 == 200 M, dedicated to dos.

I used to use an Adaptec controller, so I had a aha line.  I can't find 
any controller "ncr" in LINT, do I need a controller line for this?

There's lines in LINT like:

# controller    scbus0 at ahc0          # Single bus device
# controller    scbus1 at ahc1 bus 0    # Single bus device
# controller    scbus3 at ahc2 bus 0    # Twin bus device
# controller    scbus2 at ahc2 bus 1    # Twin bus device
# disk          sd0 at scbus0 target 0 unit 0
# disk          sd1 at scbus3 target 1

What do I replace "ahc0" with for an NCR controller?  I just have one NCR 
controller, with the 3 disks.  I currently get a panic on boot, with 
"unable to mount root", unless I used kernel.GENERIC.

Do I need device lines for the disks?  It's well documented for Adaptec 
controllers, but seemingly not for NCR controllers.
