I'm using FreeBSD 2.1.5R with an Adaptec 2940UW. I can't seem to get
FreeBSD to see my fifth SCSI disk. No matter what IDs the drives are
jumpered at, it doesn't see my highest numbered drive. I've looked through
the configuration files, but I can't find where I can configure more disks.
How can I fix this? Can anyone help?

Here's my equipment config:
P100
32Meg RAM
EIDE drive (boot drive) - There is only one OS on the entire system
Adaptec 2940UW
Five Microplis 2217 SCSI-2 drives
Wangtec 5525ES SCSI tape drive
SVGA card
10BaseT card
2Serial, 1parallel

Cheers,
Tim
