On many newer motherboards you can enable or disable the SCSI in the
BIOS. You should make sure the SCSI is enabled. If the SCSI is enabled
you should get a message from the SCSI BIOS to hit some keys to enter the
SCSI configuration. This is all using the Motherboards firmware and
independent of any Operating System.
You should be able to check your SCSI configuration and see what SCSI
devices the controller has found. If your CD is not found, check the
settings, termination and cabling.

I recently purchased a Tyan S2895 motherboard and more
recently a Hitachi SCSI drive. I'm trying like hell to
install FreeBSD 6.1 on it but the drive isn't
recognized. Even on my current installation on IDE
drives, there's nothing in dmesg about SCSI at all. I
read about someone doing benchmarks with this
motherboard and SCSI drives, so the controller is
apparently supported. Nevertheless, I can't get it to
work. I can't get the CMOS to show any information
about SCSI either so I really don't know if it's a
software or hardware problem. I would greatly
appreciate help from anyone with this board.
