In your kernel config file, comment out the line with

options =09DDB

Then recompile.  I thought there was a how-to for kernel compiling, but I
could be mistaken.  For starters, you can read the config(8) man page.
You can get kernel source for NetBSD 1.3 from
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.3/source/sets/syssrc.tgz
, and there's a set of two patch files that you'll need for 1.3.1 kernel=20
source in the NetBSD-1.3.1/source directory on the same machine.  You'll
be able to apply the patches with patch(1).

Let me know if you have trouble with the above.

I *think* that's been fixed, but I'm not an authority on these things; my
main pmax machine has SCSI IDs 0, 1, 2, and 3.  :)

I believe that's still in the works.
