Dear whoever,

I we are trying to install NetBSD. We got the filesystem made, and the kernel
copied over. 

PROBLEM:

*IF* we turn the BIOS on our Adaptek 1540, right when the computer tries to
identify the AHA1540,the Computer will freak out when trying to boot off of
the SCSI Disk Reporting:

aha_cmd: aha1542 cmd/data port full

..followed by several...

cmd fail
abort failed in wait

Needless to say, we cannot boot of of the drive if the BIOS is off, however
it will allow an install from floppies, only if the BIOS is off.

We are all developers here (mostly Macintosh, some Unix and a little DOS,)
but we do Device driver work, a lot of system-level work, and would like to
be of help to you in this effort.

We are planning on using NetBSD as our primary gateway to internet for our
company...(Getting Internet Access in about 2 weeks!)
