What kind of Seagate? Is it a SCSI-II Fast drive? I haven't been
able to get any SCSI-II Fast drives to work on NetBSD/pmax yet (but
I'd love to hear stories from people who have!).

I have seen this before. I think it has to do with drive spinup - if
you boot the machine a second time, it should find both drives
correctly. I haven't had time to find this or any other bug in the
SCSI driver, unfortunately. Now that Jonathan's gotten new config to
work, the solution to a lot of these problems may be to just install
the new SCSI driver.
