Greetings,

According to the `siop` man page, the the `siop` driver supports
the following LSI/Symbios Logic/NCR 53c8xx and related SCSI controller
chips:

            - 53c810, 53c810a and 53c815 (Fast SCSI)
            - 53c820, 53c825 and 53c825a (Fast-Wide SCSI)
            - 53c860 (Ultra SCSI)
            - 53c875 and 53c875j (Ultra-Wide SCSI)
            - 53c876 (Dual Ultra-Wide SCSI)
            - 53c885 (Ultra-Wide SCSI and Ethernet)
            - 53c895 and 53c895a (Ultra2-Wide SCSI)
            - 53c896 (PCI 64bit, dual Ultra2-Wide SCSI)
            - 53c1010 (PCI 64bit, dual Ultra3-Wide SCSI. NOTE: at this
              time siop *supports* at most Ultra2-Wide with this chip)
            - 53c1510D (dual Ultra2-Wide SCSI)

siop replaces the older ncr driver which supported most of these devices.

I am trying to install OpenBSD 3.0 on an Intel SAI2 server board (dual
Intel PIII 1.13 GHz CPUs, 512 MB registered RAM).

The included LSI20160 (*single* channel) Ultra 160 SCSI HBA (*not*
surface mountad, but included, and sold together with the motherboard),
correctly identifies the attached SCSI devices (at the boot time, or if
I am starting the LSI SCSI utility - <Ctr+C>):

        IBM DDYS S93E hard disk (SCSI ID 0)
        ARCHIVE Python 0416-XXX7550 tape drive (SCSI ID 5)
        53C1010-66 host adapter (SCSI ID 7)

However, booting from the 3.0 CD-ROM, OpenBSD can't see the controller
and consequently the attached SCSI devices:

.....

vendor "Symbios Logic", unknown product 0x21 (class mass storage, subclass
SCSI, rev 0x01) at pci0 dev 6 function 0 not configured

.....

Did somebody successfully used this motherbord & SCSI conteroller with
OpenBSD 3.0?
