Is your Adaptec adapter on an ISA bus? If so, it will have problems if you
have more than 16mb of memory. Something to do with DMA :)

Solutions:
 i) patch file (ftp://bseis.eis.cs.tu-bs.de/pub/hannken/isadma-patch)
 ii) upgrade to a PCI SCSI controller (cheap ones are available, e.g. NCR)
 iii) change to FreeBSD
 iv) take 16mb out of your machine
