Dear friends:

I'm completely disapointed with FreeBSD, because it doesn't seen my SCSI
disk.  Two weeks  ago, I've  installed  another  computer  with the same
configuration  with no  problem...  but this one don't want to recognize
the disk.  I've already compared the cards, one by one...  and all seems
to be equal.

The configuration of my system is the following:

	PC INTEL Pentium 120Mhz / PCI
	Disk: HP C3725S (2 Gbytes)
	SCSI CD-ROM: Toshiba XM-5301TA
	SCSI ADAPTER: ADAPTEC AHA2940 (Bios v1.16)

On the boot process of FreeBSD, I change the Ethernet card  settings, in
order to stablish the correct  values for port and IRQ.  When the system
try to load  the  kernel  it  appears  that it  can't  discover  the PCI
devices...  and I try to partition the disk it tells "No disks found!"

The more  intrigante, it's that the system that I've installed two weeks
ago, without any problem, now present the same  behaviour of the newest.


Could anyone help me? I'll appreciate it very much... Please!
