I've tried 3 things:

1. Board shows "PCI3"
2. Linux LiveCD says PCI slot 3
3. I've tried a million combinations, just for the heck of it. None worked.

And also, as I said, in case there is only 1 adapter it should
automatically default and I cant shorthand it, as -
sd(apsc(pci(),3),0)root
Of course that as for the controller ID it is 7 - as shown by the
Adaptec management tool and the device ID is 1 (or 0), depending on
where I put it's jumper and also shown by mgmt tool at boot.

Got any other ideas of how to verify bus/slot?
