Have you tried : substituting a different SCSI dis drive? Also, have you tried substituting a : different SCSI cable? I've tried the following: 3 adaptec cards (2 1542B, 1 1542C) 2 CPU's (acer 486 clone, zenith pentium) 2 scsi cables 2 terminators as well as termination on the drive itself 2 different disk drives, tho both were conner 1080S's formatting the drives before installing freebsd. bsd/os loaded flawlessly, so I assume the hardware is OK and it's a configuration issue.
