Ooops, somehow the HP Netserver entry made it here twice.

<heading>FreeBSD does not recognise my on-board AIC-7xxx EISA SCSI in an HP Netserver</heading>
<p>
This is basically a known problem. The EISA on-board SCSI controller
in the HP Netserver machines occupies EISA slot number 11, so all
the ``true'' EISA slots are in front of it. Alas, the address space
for EISA slots >= 10 collides with the address space assigned to PCI,
and FreeBSD's auto-configuration currently cannot handle this
situation very well.
So now, the best you can do is to pretend there were no address
range clash :), go right ahead and edit the file
<tt>/sys/i386/eisa/eisaconf.h</tt>. Look for a line defining the
macro <tt/EISA_SLOTS/, and bump the number it's defining to 12.
Configure and compile a kernel, as described in the
<url url="../handbook/kernelconfig.html"
name="Handbook entry on configuring the kernel">.
Of course, this does present you a chicken-and-egg problem when
installing on such a machine. In order to work around this
problem, a special hack is available inside <em>UserConfig</em>.
Do not use the ``visual'' interface, but the plain command-line
interface there. Simply type
<verb>
eisa 12
quit
</verb>
at the prompt, and install your system as usual. Don't forget
to install the kernel source distribution, since you need to
build a custom kernel, or otherwise you would have to repeat the
described procedure at each boot! <tt/dset(8)/ doesn't save this
change for you.
Hopefully, future version will have a proper fix for this problem.
