Summary: Is there an equivalent for SCSICNTL.EXE?
Keywords: SCSI Adaptec BusLogic utility
X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2]

Hi all,

Does anybody know of an equivalent to SCSICNTL.EXE for 
FreeBSD? SCSICNTL.EXE is a DOS utility written by Roy Neese
of Adaptec, Inc. which permits low level manipulation of SCSI
disks through Adaptec SCSI adapters. It's very useful for low
level things like formatting and geometry discovery. A FreeBSD
version would obviate the need for DOS boot disks and is hence
a "good thing". Does such a "good thing" exist?

thanks!
