Hi there,

I am having the same problem as that in
http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=13031 however the
problem report states that a fix was applied to -current on Jul 11.  Would
it be possible that the fix didn't make it into the NetBSD 1.6 install
kernel?

I am using the same hardware as listed in the problem report (SPARCstation
5, Toshiba XM-4101B).  The drive installs Solaris 8 with no problems at all.

It boots the NetBSD 1.6 cd fine, but when it needs to mount the installer
root image (cdrom or 1 chosen from the menu) it fails with this error:

esp0: invalid state: 6
esp0: resetting scsi bus
esp0: SCSI bus reset

Has anyone come across this same problem, and if so, any workarounds?

Regards
Tim
