Hi,

did anyone find a solution to this problem?  I recently tried to
resurrect an old G3 iMac Bondi Blue and dropped in a -current
GENERIC kernel, and it exhibited the exact behavior described
above, i.e. the last thing printed on the display was a message
about "scsibus0: waiting 2 seconds for devices to settle".  And
then nothing more.  Any suggestions as to what I should try?
