Just wondering if there is some major problems with the adaptec 1542C/CF
and netbsd-1.0     ...

reason being is that I have just installed an aha1542CF and a DEC RZ25e 
SCSI-2 drive and my netbsd system (that was running 1.0 on wd0) is 
falling over left, right and centre.. sometimes even /sbin/sh core dumps 
while logging in as root thus allowing me to not log in...

not just that but it core dumps for no reason whatever.. etc.. I try to 
do an 'ls -l' and it dumps on me... I try again straight away and it works..

same thing happens for almost anything..

seem to get lots of kernel panics for no reason... etc I start an ftp and 
^Z and bg and kernel panic...  either ffs_valloc or some other ffs error 
and sometimes it has cored while starting system logger....

anyway enough of probs.. they're everywhere and I was wondering if this 
is a common prob with the AHA kernel or if it is a prob I am having with 
my machine or what..

suggestions welcome...

thanks..
