Turn off the cache:
  I tried turning off the external cache, and then the internal
cache and I raised the wait states.  This did not alleviate the
problem.

I did a cksum of the binaries and diff'ed them with my pre-downloaded
version.

   cksum base10.?? > sums

   % diff sums sums.unix
   22c22
   < 717802326 240640 base10.av

Ok.  So I downloaded base10.av, put it onto floppy, booted netbsd
again and now did "cksum base10.av".  It was good.  Now I
checked the one that was reported not good.  It was also
good!  If I do "cksum base10.?? > sums" some of the sums are
bad but if I sum the individual file it comes out correct!

I suspect the scsi driver and/or hardware now.  The card is
"100% adaptect compatible" and as best as I can tell its
a 1540 controller.  (The docs show a screen with a scsi
driver loaded that says "AHA1510").  The controller is some
IDE + SCSI combo, there are only SCSI devices on it though.
