Okay I have compiled the -current sources for the kernel (got them from 
ftp.netbsd.org) and when I am booting with the new kernel everything is 
proceeding as it has done under -1.0 but it gets to this point:
ztwobus0 at mainbus0
gvpbus0 at ztwobus0 rom 0xe90000 man/pro 2017/11
gtsc0 at gvpbus0: dmamask 0xffffff bounce pa 0x1d3058 maxdma 1024
scsibus0 at gtsc0
ahsc0 at mainbus0
scsibus1 at ahsc0
ahsc0 targ 0 lun 0: <SEAGATE ST157N          \^D|j> SCSI1 direct fixed
sd0 at scsibus1: 46MB, 613 cyl, 6 head, 25 sec, 512 bytes/sec
ahsc0 targ 1 lun 0: <SEAGATE ST251N          \^D\^K\^G> SCSI1 direct fixed
sd1 at scsibus1: 41MB, 818 cyl, 4 head, 25 sec, 512 bytes/sec

At this point the drive light is lighted on this drive and it just sits 
there waiting...Now I have an A3000 without any additional hardware, the 
GVP stuff is there because I have a GVP card in my box, but nothing is on 
it.  (I need it for access to the power supply it has, I really hate the 
setup inside the A3000 case!!) 

I have one further drive that contains that root and usr partitions and 
is scsi unit 6.  I have configured the kernel so it is supposed to swap 
on sd2b and sd1b.  So is this enough info to figure out where I have gone 
wrong??

	Thanks,
		Simon
