I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.1.5 on an EISA system with a AHA1740
scsi controller.  The system is running DOS/Win95 with no problems from
two scsi drives (540mg Maxtor, 1.0GB seagate).  I've made a boot floppy
to boot the install.  It finds the device ahb0, but it can't find any
drives.  Maybe the controller needs to be configured a certain way in
the EISA setup?  Anyone have one of these running?
