I was unaware that OpenBSD could use raw devices as I have always had to
prepare them.  At any rate the below example is very similar to the
output when attempting to prepare a >120G IDE disk in the same box using
the on-board controller.  This particular example is using a SiL3512
based card.

Killed because this will happen for a long time, then the system will
stop displaying new output and be unresponsive to keyboard input.

Here is the dmesg output for the system with that card installed:

Using a card with a VIA 6421A I rx the following, but haven't any idea
where the disk is, goes, or how to boot from it.

Put another way, I know the paths (or can suss them out) for the four
on-board IDE devices, and have done so for add-on SCSI devices, but
cannot for the life of me figure out what /pci... address this
instantiation of wd0 is located at.  OpenBSD of course does see it as
wd0, and quite happily too!

I have not included the preperation data from the prior example because
in this case it procedes normally and without surprise.  I did compare a
show-devs from the system with no card installed and with the Via card,
which follows this dmesg output.

Although I did experience different results with the Via card
previously, it now appears to behave differently, and cautiously better.
 I'm not sure what I've done differently in the meantime, but I may have
done a 'reset-all' and may have gone from OBSD 4.6/4.7 to 4.8, but
cannot now be sure of any of that.

Thanks for any assistance and/or insight.
