Thanks again. I've spent the weekend trying to get this thing going... I know both scsi hosts are supported by FreeBSD and Linux, there aren't any IRQ conflicts between the devices....
I am perplexed.
thanks again,

Thanks, still nothing... you're right I forgot to change my email to /dev/da for FreeBSD (/dev/sda is Linux scsi drive) Any other ideas? I thought there might be some IRQ conflicts but there isn't when I look in kernel config before install... These aren't RAID so I thought it'd be a no brainer....
When you are running sysinstall, the fdisk option has always presented me with the device name of the HDs I had connected to the scsi adapter. It would be something like da0, da1, and etc., which you would create the slices and partitions.
I can't help beyond that because I don't have any systems with scsi HDs on them. I could build a system with 2 - ata-133 80GB HDs on it for what a good uw scsi adapter and HD would cost.

Thanks,

All of the scsi disks I ever had were refered to as /dev/da...
