What wide scsi controllers does BSDI support (if any)?  I've got an NCR
53C825 ("Promise DC540") controller.  The BSDI 2.0.1 boot disks don't seem
to be recognizing it, but I saw a note on the BSDI web site that lead me to
believe that the NCR chip might be supported.  What about the Buslogic
956C?  Do I have to get rid of my wide drive, or is there some controller
or magic I can type to make this work?

Any help greatly appreciated.
