This is caused because your Buslogic card and the FreeBSD kernel don't
agree on with IRQ you are using. FreeBSD expects it to be at irq 12 or
14 (not sure, don't have docs handy), while many machines have it
installed on another irq. Re-jumper your board or get a kernel where
it is configured for the IRQ on your board and all will be well.

It's you SCSI card and not anything else. Re-configure you adaptor to
use a different IRQ and stick your SCSI ID back to 7. :-)
