I'd make sure the bus is terminated properly.

Expected and completely normal.  575 is an 040 based box with an
NCR58C94 (or was it 58C96?) chip which is different from all 030 boxes
and PowerBooks (incl. the 500 series).  So, neither ncrscsi nor sbc
driver is used but esp driver is used instead.

Installer seems to get flakey from time to time (no offense to the
authors), but I understand that we are moving toward sysinst based
installation, which runs completely on NetBSD once Booter boots a
kernel.  When that happens, many problems associated with MacOS-based
Installer will disappear (and new ones will be introduced with no
doubt).
