I get messages like that every time I boot.  After the boot everything
seems fine and the CD writer works properly.

The interesting thing is I don't even have a device at target 0.

I think the HP 9200 must somehow get confused by the ahc driver, and
suddenly starts responding as target 0.  Since I only see this at boot
time I haven't really bothered to look into it.  

My uneducated guess was that it probably had something to do with
weird boot-the-PC-off-a-CD tricks.  But it could just be a driver bug
or a firmware bug in the CR-RW drive itself.  Or perhaps both of us
have somehow managed to misconfigure our systems in just the same way.
But I did triple-check my cabling and termination, and everything
seemed fine.

Did you recently install the HP9200?  It is curious that you're just
seeing these messages for the first time.
