Help!

I'm trying to install FreeBSD Epsilon, so I downloaded the three floppies
to start the install.  My system has two ide drives, plus a Buslogic 545s
controller card with a conner cp30540 520meg scsi card.

I was informed that the adaptec scsi kernel works with the Buslogic, so I
downloaded and booted it.  The install then prompted for the file system
disk, and identified that there was a scsi card.  However, subsequent to this
cmd failed messages started appearing, and the system finally displayed a
prompt to reboot after a kernel panic.

Similar things happened when I tried NetBSD .9

Does anybody know how or if I can get the kernel to boot correctly, so I
can install the system on the 3rd drive (the scsi one)

Thanks a million,

Dimitri
