Re: Booting /NetBSD-daily/netbsd-4/200807120002Z on my TT030

I managed to catch the ncrscsi bug that's been plaguing my setup.  Usually 
when I find the machine it's in a state where these messages are just 
scrolling by and I can't read them, but this time it landed in the kernel 
debugger.  I think the crash was just an indirect result of the scsi bug and 
not the ncrscsi driver itself crashing.

The messages all look like this (although with different hex digits):
sd0(ncrscsi0:0:0:0):    Check Condition on CDB: 0x08 00 00 c2 10 00
   SENSE KEY:    Illegal Request
   ASC/ASCQ:    Invalid Command Operation Code

I didn't catch the very beginning of the messages -- I seem to remember 
seeing this scroll by once and it was a different message.  (Maybe something 
about the device holding the bus for too long?)  If there's a place where 
these messages are logged I can go and check that out.
