Do you have 1520 support compiled in the kernel? Or is it compiled as a
module? Do you have SCSI disk support in the kernel?
If compiled as a module, be sure /etc/conf.modules has:
alias scsi_hostadapter aha152x
You might also supply the base address and irq with the following:
options aha152x aha152x=0x340,12
Reboot with the newly compiled kernel or modules, and you should be ok.
