Sure, this is a common problem with the adaptec/iomega boards. You have ot
add a commandline parameter to either /etc/lilo.conf or your module that
reads something similiar to:
aha152x=(ioaddress), (interrupt)
for instance, mine is aha152x=0x140,11
I'd try that, chances are that it'll do the trick. :)

FreeBSD must do a bit more active or a probe on hardware, maybe?
