I know there is a bug in the SCSI driver for the Blizzard2060 which seem to be 
the same :
In fact, when you try to copy a big file (~more than 300 Ko) from one disk (one 
SCSI id) to an other, the shell is frozen
(but not the system because you can login on an other terminal). The solution 
is to make partitions on one disk 
(all NetBSD partitions + one AmigaDOS), and put the gzip files on the ADOS 
partition.
To test if your problem is the same, just try to make a copy in a shell from 
your cd to your disk (cp /mnt/cd/bigfile /tmp).
If it freez, you have the answer...
