Dear port-alpha:

I've made a bootable CD to install NetBSD from following the instructions at

   http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/bootcd.html#alphaimage

It boots an AlphaStation 200 4/166, a PWS 500 and an AlphaServer 
ES40, but when I use it on a 3000/400 this happens:

>>>  b dkb500
INIT-S-CPU...
INIT-S-RESET_TC...
INIT-S-ASIC...
INIT-S-MEM...
INIT-S-NVR...
INIT-S-SCC...
INIT-S-NI...
INIT-S-SCSI...
INIT-S-ISDN...
INIT-S-TC1...
AUDIT_BOOT_STARTS ...

? T_ERR_SCSI - CHECK_MEDIA/DEVICE

   84 FAIL


I used the same PlexWriter PX-W1210S drive on the AS 200, PWS 500 and 
3000/400.  I tried connecting its Block jumpers for the latter but 
that didn't help.

Do you know what the problem could be?
