Dear FreeBSD users,

I have just received two servers running
adaptec 2940 WIDE SCSI and I am unable to 
install FreeBSD.

The install program does not recognise the
adapter! The device name ahc0 does NOT appear
in the GENERIC kernel!

I have $10000 worth of hardware I cannot use?!

Can anyone suggest a solution? How can I install
with this hardware?

Thanks 

Kevin
