>Environment:
Adaptec 2940U2W with Ultra2 Disc as ID 0 (booting) and 4 Ultra drives.  
ASUS P5A Motherboard, Award Bios 4.51PG.  Asus P5A ACPI BIOS Revision 1006.
Adaptec SCSI Bios 2.20.0
>Description:
System was installed with single Ultra2 Disc at unit 0 using installer and "dangerously dedicated mode"
Later 4 discs were added using the following procedure:
 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rda1 count=2
 disklabel /dev/rda1 | disklabel -BrR da1 /dev/stdin
 newfs /dev/rda1c
With these new dangerously dedicated discs the system refuses to boot with the 4 new drives attached to the system.  The following is displayed immediatley after the PC Bios.

 This is the same problem as in kern/16803. I mention this here
 because kern/16803 also contains a solution if you can't
 upgrade the bios which maybe the case when using on-board
 controllers.
