Re: 5.2 Install CD doesn't detect all scsi drives

Try this. At the sysinstall menu, hit scroll lock, then arrow up and check
out the asr probe messages.  It'd be extra neat if you could capture them
with a serial console.

Next, hit scroll lock to get the screen back, then go to Fixit, then
Shell. Run '/stand/camcontrol devlist -v' and paste us the output.  That
should show the two disk devices.

Why it can't open the device is curious, and better yet is the bug where
sysinstall doesn't print errno. :-)
