Hm. This may be my problem too.
I've got a 370 and am trying to boot it with NetBSD.
I booted from a ICL 525Mb tapedrive (it said it is a WANGTEK 525 SCSI if I'm
not mistaking). Works great. OK, I've to get the miniroot by NFS from a LINUX
machine, but I don't mind. This all seems to work. Untill.... I boot.
It detects some of my hardware, until it detects the SCSI controller. Then it
hangs. And because I don't have any HP-IB drives (the one I got along with
the machine gave servo-faults), this is a bit anoying. I cann't do anything
about it. Or I could try to netboot it of course, but then I have to find the
Linux-rbootd (where is it ? Shouldn't it be on ftp.netbsd.org ?)

Now I've seen that Jason fixed some bugs in the SCSI code. If those would fix
my hangup too, I would like it very much, if there would be a pre-release in
the -current tree with this new SCSI-driver.

Any other info/possibilities/solutions are welcome too, of course.

It worked for me, as long as I have a NFS server for some of the other data,
miniroot for instance.

P.S.: My machine is at home and isn't connected to the net (yet), but if
      someone is interested, I can log the booting process and E-mail it.
