I don't know really, but I used to use loadbsd, but that stopped doing its
job at some time. I don't recall why, but it might have had to do with the
larger amount of fastmem I put in (96Mb).

Well, I don't know what else can be wrong... Last time I hooked up these
scsi-drives and booted NetBSD, everything just worked as expected. (This was
somewhere in October). After that, the drives have not been in use by *any*
system, so there's really nothing changed on them.
