Hi.
After getting 11/1/97 snapshot and nigel's most recent booter (*b5) with
GENERICSBC#47, and having problems, i replaced /netbsd with the ncrscsi
GENERIC #47 kernel.
the machine booted fine, except fsck complaining because it wanted
arguments - no biggie there.
now the machine sometimes blurts out these screen-long messages or some
kind of error with the phase change of the hard disk. i wouldn't find this
surprising because it's ncrscsi not sbcscsi, but i ran an ncrscsi kernel
(NetBSD 1.2 GENERIC#1) with this drive for the longest time and never had
problems with it.
Anyway, here's a log of what i get sometimes:
