I would like to install FreeBSD on a system with an adaptec 2940UW card.
I know many people have had no problems installing and using this device,
however I am.

The install boot dies with the following errors,

ahc0: waiting for scsi devices to settle
ahc0: board is not responding
(ahc0:0:0): SCB 0x0 -timed out while idle, LASTPHASE == 0x1, SCSISIGI ...

The system then tries each scb and eventually reboots.  I've seen this
problem in the bug reporting database and references to it posted by 
other people in the mailing list archives.  Unfortunately, I've not seen a
working solution yet. 

Micron M-M54Hi-10pm motherboard
p166, 64Mb ram
Wester Digital Enterprise 4360 4.36Gb HD
Plextor PX-32TSi 32x scsi cdrom

This system will run DOS, Win95, and WinNT.

It will not run FreeBSD or Linux.

If anyone is familiar with these errors, or has a good suggestion, I'ld
be very greatful.

Thanks in advance,

Steve Wilson
