First. let's make sure that the modules are working. There are so many
PROM/PLCC versions for the AIC7xxx that you may or may not have a working card.
Adaptec has not been the sort of cooperative manufacturer Advansys has been for
driver work.
So, booted without any scsi drives in /etc/fstab, try
# modprobe aic7xxx
now test mounting your device with a mount command. If it works then the
simplest way I know to make sure you have the module there would be a line in
/etc/conf.modules right after the first
alias block-major-8 aic7xxx
That should produce what you desire.
