There are 2 versions of the Adaptec 2940. In the later version, they
changed the BIOS rev and SCSI sense codes. BSDI 2.1 only detects the
original earlier version and will not see the new one. You aparently have
the later version of the card.
BSDI does have a new install boot disk and kernel patch to fix this problem.
Contact BSDI tech support for more info and location. I imagine they would
not appreciate me giving out the location of this file as it is in a private
area on there ftp server.
