This is _not_ his problem.  If you would read the whole list of
messages, the hard drive attached to his controller is not getting
configured.  (Yes, the config file used to build the kernel is set up
for the NCR controller and for devices attached to it.)  The question
is why; others have reported using NetBSD on that motherboard and
controller before, so the problem is likely misconfigured jumpers on
Dimitri's controller or some similiar calamity.  Does anyone who's
actually using an NCR PCI SCSI controller have some advice?
