this is bad.  that's the external slow/narrow SCSI controller.

Note that no cd(4) devices were detected, probably
due to the esp0 errors above.

I can think of two possible ways to work around this.

1) drop a PCI NIC in the thing and pull the sets from
a server.  (I've never gotten the mc0 in mine to ever function)

2) get a CD-ROM drive on one of the internal fast/wide
SCSI buses.

P.S.  You could always just use it as a printer stand
or end table like I use my 700/150. :P
