Maybe I missed this (just trying to catch up with mail) - is it a known
fact that the esp scsi driver is broken in -current?

I tried to upgrade my LX to -current but it won't boot. Old dmesg is:

dma0 at sbus0 slot 4 offset 0x8400000: dma rev 2
esp0 at dma0 slot 4 offset 0x8800000 level 4: ESP200, 40MHz, SCSI ID 7
scsibus0 at esp0: 8 targets, 8 luns per target
...
...
scsibus0: waiting 2 seconds for devices to settle...
sd0 at scsibus0 target 0 lun 0: <IBM, DCAS-32160, S65A> SCSI2 0/direct fixed
sd0: 2063 MB, 8188 cyl, 3 head, 172 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 4226725 sectors
sd0: sync (100.0ns offset 15), 8-bit (10.000MB/s) transfers, tagged queueing
root on sd0a dumps on sd0b

With -current it hangs after 

scsibus0: waiting 2 seconds for devices to settle...

or after the sd0: messages.

Any easy workarounds? What happened?
