An attempt to install NetBSD-1.3.3 on an old PC made me a little
confused. It uses a AMD PCscsi adapter as it's primary disc controller
and I can't get it working.

I tried reading the w3-pages once again and found this:

This page, which I read first says:

http://www.netbsd.org/Hardware/pci.html ,$NetBSD: pci.html,v 1.12
1999/03/26 00:52:11 mjacob Exp $

"
Supported PCI devices
...
Advanced Micro Devices Am53c974 PCscsi-PCI, and boards using this chip,
including the Tekram DC-390 (pcscp).
"

And this page says:

http://www.netbsd.org/Releases/formal-1.3/i386.html ,$NetBSD:
i386.html,v 1.12 1999/01/16 14:01:00 lukem Exp $

Hardware the we do NOT currently support, but get many questions about: 

AMD PCscsi SCSI host adapters (though the PCnet portion of the
PCnet-SCSI works fine)
"

I skimmed all the CHANGES files, but didn't find anything in them. Which
statement is the correct one?

This is the message regarding the adapter I get when I boot the machine.
vendor 0x1022 product 0x2020 (SCSI mass storage, revision 0x02) at pci0
dev 4 function 0 not configured.

btw, your doing a great job. Thanx for a wonderful os!
