Trying to install netbsd-1.6 from miniroot, and I'm getting

  ...
  siop2 at pci2 dev 2 function 0: Symbios Logic 53c875 (ultra-wide scsi)
  siop2: using on-board RAM
  siop2: interrupting at ivec 0
  scsibus2 at siop2: 16 targets, 8 luns per target

  scsibus2: waiting 2 seconds for devices to settle...
  probe(siop2:0:0:0): command timeout
  [hang]

The card works fine under Solaris, but will not work under netbsd.  But
that's "minor" compared to the hang; if the card is bad shouldn't netbsd
just skip past it?  I want to have a RAID1 setup and be able to survive
a bad controller.  Hangs like this make me think this won't work.

The miniroot is from the 1.6 iso sparc64 image.
