I went looking in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf instead, oops!

What threw me though was there was no scbus identified in
the boot messages. Boot output goes like this:

...
da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
...
da1 at ahc0 bus 0 target 1 lun 0
...

But I tried what the Good Doctor ordered, and now I feel fine!

Thanks!!!
