FreeBSD 2.0.5?  If you're going to review FreeBSD, how about using a version
more recent?  FreeBSD 2.1 has been out for months now and 2.1.5 is due
any day now.

If you experience any problems with the Adaptec 2940, upgrade to 2.1-stable
or wait for the 2.1.5 release.  THere were a lot of bug fixes and improvements
in the driver for the 2940 controller.
