Here's what the Adaptec RAID folks have had to say about the IBM disks in
question:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=21282+38552+/usr/local/www/db/text/2001/freebsd-scsi/20010114.freebsd-scsi
>From personal experience, I wasn't able to install FreeBSD on a DDYS drive
with S80D firmware. (The disk was connected to an onboard 7899 on a
SuperMicro 370DE6.) With S93E firmware, I've had pretty good luck
installing and running FreeBSD. If you're running an Adaptec ASR-type
RAID controller, you really need S96H.
