Hi folks,

I'm trying my first install of NetBSD on a Multia with an NCR53c810.
The boot messages relevant to SCSI are:

ncr0 at pci0 dev 6 function 0: ncr 53c810 fast10 scsi
ncr0: interrupting at isa irq 11
ncr0: minsync=25, maxsync=206, maxoffs=8, 16 dwords burst, normal dma fifo
ncr0: single-ended, open drain IRQ driver
ncr0: restart (scsi reset)
scsibus0 at ncr0: 8 targets
sd0 at scsibus0 targ 0 lun 0: <HP, C3325A 5256> SCSI2 0/direct fixed
sd0: sd0(ncr0:0:0): 10.0 MB/s (100 ns, offset 8)
2048MB, 3703 cyl, 9 head, 125 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 4194304 sectors


When attempting to read or write sd0 (such as when the install script
attempts to disklabel), the following message is emitted with each
operation:

sd0(ncr0:0:0): command aborted, data = 00 00 00 00 4e 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Can anybody loan me a clue as to how to proceed?

FWIW, this same box previously ran NT 4.0, NT 5.0, and Red Hat Linux
4.2, so I tend to think that this is not a hardware problem.
