I am having problems seeing a DEC DSP3105 SCSI disk at connected to
Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller.

The boot messages look hopeful but any attempt to write a disklabel
disklabel -w /dev/rsd0c dsp3105 ( having defined dsp3105 in /etc/disktab)
or access the disk ie
dd if=/dev/rsd0c count=2 | od
just gives the error message /dev/rsd0c: Device not configured

I have tried various entries in the kernel config file
currently they are

ahc*    at pci? dev ? function ?        # Adaptec 2940 SCSI controllers
scsibus0 at ahc?

sd0     at scsibus0 target 0 lun 0
sd1     at scsibus0 target 1 lun 0
sd*     at scsibus? target ? lun ?      # SCSI disk drives
st*     at scsibus? target ? lun ?      # SCSI tape drives
cd*     at scsibus? target ? lun ?      # SCSI CD-ROM drives
ch*     at scsibus? target ? lun ?      # SCSI autochangers

I can mount the CD-ROM OK so something is working.

The DSP3105 has a bootable linux system on it so is or was a couple of
days ago in working order.

Here are the boot up messages

This is my first venture into NetBSD so please forgive me if I am
doing something obviously wrong or asking in the wrong forum.

Thanks for any help

PS.
I seem to have had a long tortuous jouney to get this far

1) find 2490 stated as supported
2) download NetBSD 1.1 - find no support for 2490 on installation floppies
3) install borrowed IDE disk in PC & install 1.1 OK
4) download NetBSD-current from ftp.demon.co.uk
5) follow instruction in FAQ to build source tree
6) find the tree on ftp.demon very out of date (1.1A)
7) reinstall 1.1 from scratch
8) get current version of NetBSD-current from src.doc.ic.ac.uk
9) find instruction in FAQ no longer valid - struggle through build -
   i think all installed Ok.
10) still find I cannot see SCSI disk
