I'm currently trying to install FreeBSD on my PC.  In the INSTALL-file 
that comes with the 2.0 distribution it expects that SCSI-disks should be 
listed as sd0 and so on.  Well, when I boot the install-disk, no disks 
are listed.  Booting with "/kernel -c" I tried to list the configured 
devices, and sd0 didn't even exist.

My equipment is as follows:

- Pentium 75 based PCI mainboard (with lot's of Intel chips)
- Intel PCISCSI NCR (probably 53C815, possibly 53C825) based SCSI-controller.
- S3-964 based PCI graphics card.
- Connor CFP1060S 1GB SCSI-drive.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
