You seemed to say that your hard disks are not discovered in another
email (I didn't see it but saw a reply to it).

Could you describe the machine ?
Does it have a some hot-plug backplane, for example ?
What FreeBSD version ?

About trying to install the system using an Adaptec, why not ?
(Btw, it also happen that using a Symbios device sometimes cures a failing
system that used an Adaptec controller).
