Hi... 
	I have an NCR 53c825 fast/wide SCSI HA, a Micropolis 2217 1.7GB SCSI-2, 
and a Quantum 34301 4.3GB fast/wide SCSI HD.  The controller is 
recognized under 2.0.5-RELEASE and the Micropolis is capable of being 
partitioned and labeled.  2.0.5-RELEASE does not recognize the Quantum at 
all though.  When I try a 2.1.0-RELEASE boot disk, both drives come up as 
"partitionable" but I cannot write the labeling information to either drive.

Has anyone used this combination successfully under FreeBSD and, if so, how?

Is the Adaptec 2940W a more workable f/w option under FreeBSD? 

Thanks grande... Jim Antoniou
