Subject:   Install can't find SCSI disks on Dell PowerEdge2300
Message-ID:  <86yaqg420t.fsf@samizdat.uucom.com>

Trying to install FreeBSD on a new Dell PowerEdge2300. It's a P2 with
two on-board Adaptec SCSI controllers, a 7860 with the CDROM and a
7890 with two Seagate 34573LC disks. I've tried 2.2.6-RELEASE and
2.2.7-RELEASE and they both see the CDROM and boot from it, but when
trying to select disks, the install procedure reports there's no disk.

I tried the 3.0-19981013-BETA boot floppy and it does see the disks so
I'm guessing support for the Adaptec 7890 is very recent. 

We're trying to build these servers for an ISP so we'd rather stay
conservative with 2.2.7-STABLE. Any thoughts?
