So, is there anything that needs to be done such that -current "just works"
on one of these machines with the NCR SCSI instead of the other standard
Apple SCSI chipsets?  Does the siop (or ncr) driver need to be compiled
into the bootloader?  It looks like the necessary ncr driver is already in
GENERIC and INSTALL, am I right?
