[Hi.  You remember me.  2 disks on a SS1+, both Sun0424 drives, getting
RESELECT errors...]

Well, it appears that the Nov. 21 1995 GENERIC kernel handles talking to
both drives at once with no problems, as evidenced by two dd processes
in parallel (dd if=/dev/rsd1c of=/dev/null & dd if=/dev/rsd0c of=/dev/null).

The -current kernel is the one that pukes.  What's changed in the sd/scsi/
esp subsystem for the sun4c platform since November, if someone knows off
hand?  It looks as though there may be some problems with a timing loop or
some such.
