Just a thought,
Do you have any MacOS software that puts idle drives to sleep??
The installer and booter do not know how to wake up a sleeping drive as I
discovered when I also received a string of "Error on SCSIWrite(), # 5"
messages when first installing NetBSD as a novice (still a novice). It
could get ugly if the drive was put to sleep in mid-install.

Cheers
