5.2 Install CD doesn't detect all scsi drives

Using a zero-channel adaptec 2010s (U320) RAID card with the following
setup:

Bus 0: single IBM U320 36GB drive
Bus 1: three Seagate U320 72GB drives set up as RAID 5

(Where Bus corresponds to the SCSI channel on the Mobo - Supermicro)

Booting from the 5.2-Release CD and during setup, the disk partition
utility only sees the RAID configuration and not the one drive. The idea
was to install the system, etc on the lone drive and the large RAID was
to be used for a data spool. I have tried various configs with the
adaptec SMOR to no avail.

As a check, I tried a recent Linux distro install CD to make sure that
the Adaptec card wasn't somehow hiding the lone disk from the OS; that
distro recognized both the single drive and the RAID and allowed for
both to be used to create a filesystem.

Specs: Supermicro X5DPL-8GM and Adaptec 2010S ZCR card.
The RAID card is picked up as asr0 by the kernel.

Has anyone tried anything similar or have any ideas?
