So has anyone yet managed to get RiscBSD installed on a removable 1Gb JAZ
SCSI drive using a Alsystems SCSI II card? I've tried numerous times and
given up on it.

Using the version of RiscBSD supplied on the Developers CD, with the
upgrade patches from the RiscBSD web site.

Is it my imagination or is RiscBSD very buggy when it comes to supporting
common interface cards and devices?

It appears to me that not enough attention is being given to making the
thing easy to install in the first place.
