I get the same problem with my old A3000/030-16.  I have a feeling that it
has something to do with having the older WD SCSI chip (the Proto version,
as the NetBSD FAQ calls it).

According to the FAQ, if you use the option "-I ff" with LoadBSD, it will
disable syncronous transfers and stop the lockups, but alas, it doesn't
work for me.  (I use an old Trumpcard 2000 for NetBSD on my system
instead).  However, it might for you.

BTW, new WD SCSI chips run about $40 or less and can be purchased at just
about any Amiga mail order house.
