And here they are...

My 4000 already had a TK70 controller so I jumpered the CQD-223 to be
the first disk controller and second tape controller:

   W6-1 W6-2 W6-3 W6-4 W6-5 W6-6 W6-7
     IN   IN   IN   IN   IN   IN  OUT

All other jumpers are factory default. The QBUS now looks like this:

>>>sh qbus
Scan of Qbus I/O Space
-20000104 (760404) = 0000 TQK50/TQK70/TU81E/RV20/KFQSA-TAPE
-20000106 (760406) = 0B40
-20001468 (772150) = 0000 RQDX3/KDA50/RRD50/RQC25/KFQSA-DISK
-2000146A (772152) = 0B00
-20001940 (774500) = 0000 TQK50/TQK70/TU81E/RV20/KFQSA-TAPE
-20001942 (774502) = 0BC0
-20001F40 (777500) = 0020 IPCR

The problem then was that my SCSI disk showed up as a tape when I ran
'sh dev'. Connecting a terminal (9600/8/N/1) to the console port on the
CMD card revealed that all the SCSI IDs were configured to be tape
drives. The quick solution was to reset the NVRAM on the CMD card to
factory defaults, this assigns IDs 0-3 as disks and 4-6 as tapes. The
reset command can be found under ADDITIONAL UTILITIES -> DISPLAY SCSI
DEVICE & SETUP CONFIGURATION -> CHANGE CONFIGURATION.

My SCSI disk then showed up in the right place:

>>>sh dev
DSSI Bus 0 Node 0 (ESTER0)
-DIA0 (RF31)
DSSI Bus 0 Node 1 (ESTER1)
-DIA1 (RF35)
DSSI Bus 0 Node 2 (ESTER2)
-DIA2 (RF31)
DSSI Bus 0 Node 7 (*)
DSSI Bus 1 Node 6 (*)
UQSSP Disk Controller 0 (772150)
-DUA0 (RA90)
UQSSP Tape Controller 0 (774500)
-MUA0 (TK70)
UQSSP Tape Controller 1 (760404)
Ethernet Adapter
-EZA0 (08-00-2B-BC-3C-9A)

It's now booting NetBSD 2.0 :-)

Thanks again for all the help,
