What does lsdev or whatever it was say? Does it show any devices besides

So I booted from CD and ran lsdev, and showed something like this (from
memory)

0: Drive A
2: Disk 0
1: FFS

You need to get into your SCSI BIOS (don't know what the key
sequence is for 3ware, it's ^A for Adaptec) at the correct time
and enable the disk for booting. As shown here, there's no chance
of it being bootable.

Thanks, but I didn't need any help with the SCSI BIOS. The question was only how to determine what devices are visible to FreeBSD. Apparently 3ware only shows a single LUN to the BIOS, even when it shows multiple LUNs to the booted system.
