System: NetBSD polder.ubc.kun.nl 1.2.1 NetBSD 1.2.1 (POLDER) #5: Wed Jun 4 15:53:30 MET DST 1997 rhialto@polder.ubc.kun.nl:/home/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/POLDER i386


>Description:
	
	The INSTALL document tells us that all AIC78X0 chips are supported
	as SCSI interface. Thay may have been true at the time of writing
	but there are now some chips that match the pattern but which are
	not supported.

	Getting this fixed for 1.3.4 seems imperative.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to find a motherboard with on-board SCSI interface which is
	supported by NetBSD.
>Fix:
	
	Workaround:
	
	(patch valid for the 1.3.2 version of i386/INSTALL, but it also
	applies to -current and the principle I assume also for other
	ports that may have on-board SCSI chips or PCI buses)
