Watch as it boots and check the "real" SCSI ID associated with the sd# 
and make sure it's a drive that's giving the message.  After that, if it 
*is* a drive, make sure the drive is working okay under MacOS.  That 
means the drive isn't SCSI compatible.  What's the mechanism associated 
with that drive?  Do you have any unusual SCSI devices connected with 
lower SCSI ID#'s than the drive in question, such as a CD-ROM drive or 
SCSI-Ethernet Box?  If you do have an unusual devices, do one of two 
things.

	1.  One possibility is to simply get a kernel with the scsifix patch 
applied, if you don't already.
	2.  Otherwise, make sure all "unusual devices" have higher SCSI ID#'s 
than all NetBSD drives and use the installer's mini-shell to do an fstab 
-force to recreate the fstab file.  Then try again.

I don't know if that will help, as I've lost the original post to know 
exactly what the problem is.
