Thanks for a quick answer about the SCSI-drivers.

Any idea why the old boot.mop doesn't work. I tried an older version
(from 9805- something) since the new one Ragge has provided us with :-)
seems unable to boot the older kernels. If i try to boot any of the
older kernels it just throws me back to the bootprompt after
the kernel has loaded. When it tryes to boot the kernel it just gives
a message about some i/o error. It doesn't dump me all the way to the
ROM, just back to the bootloader.

The old bootloader is another question, it refuses to load anything,
just the SCB2NDINT message and then bails out to the ROM again.
I've tried both using /netbsd and le()/netbsd from the prompt.
Sometimes i get a message that the RARP request failed.=20
There seems to be something weird going on here, since the new bootloader
works, the config of mop, rarpd etc should be OK.

I remember reading something earlier this year about a memory failure
as a possible cause, perhaps i should try taking out some memory and start
shifting them to see if there is a flaky mem somewhere.=20
-Hope not, 8 Megs seems to to little to run this on...
