sym: where did my drives go?

Hi all,

I'm assembling a Compaq 1850R with attached storage system. For the 
built in scsi controller, there are three drives internally on channel 1 
+ 5 drives externally on channel 2.
During boot, I can see all disks being identified first by the machine 
itself and then in the early part of the process, by the kernel 
(something scrolls by talking about BIOS drive numbering).

However, the result is not 8 drives but 5 in total in a mix between the 
channels, see below.

What's wrong? Do I need to make more devices? If yes, how?

Thanks,
