I've upgraded my home system from a 486 DX2/80 to an AMD K2/350 and boy
does NetBSD run nicely now!

I also changed SCSI controllers from an Adaptec 2842 to a 2940UW.
I get the following messages (as well as not seeing 1 drive):

================================

Is this more likely a termination issue, or that the unrecognized drive
is too old and slow? I'm using the same SCSI cable. This is what was
seen before the upgrade:
