Yes. Thats me :) Default kernel code thinks that maximum EISA slot can not be more than 10. But your LC has 11 or more... So install with another SCSI host adapter, then edit /usr/src/sys/i386/eisa/eisaconf.h ( or something like it - may be i miss ) and increase MAX_EISA_SLOTS up to 11 or 12. It works for me well. Sergey
