Ladies and Gents,

may I ask for your help? Firstly I need to apologize for cross-posting to 
netbsd-help and port-alpha.

Here is my problem:

I added an Initio INI-9100-UW SCSI controller and a Fujitsu MAH3091MP disk 
drive to my DEC AlphaStation 200. Unfortunately the system does not 
recognize the new components.

The Alpha's SRM (v6.9-4) console shows the new controller but not the disk 
drive. When booting up NetBSD 1.5 the startup messages show that NetBSD 
recognizes the INI-9100-UW controller but not the disk drive. Funny enough 
NetBSD does complain about /dev/scsibus1 not to be existent (/dev/scsibus0 
is the build-in controller). I expected the device to exist because the 
controller was recognized.

I think the SCSI configuration is OK. The INI-9100-UW has no jumpers to be 
set, the default configuration should automagically provide bus 
termination. The Fujitsu MAH3091MP disk drive is jumpered for SCSI id #1, 
spin-up on power and termination. It is the only drive on the SCSI bus. I 
think the disk is OK because it actually spins up on power. :)

Any suggestions how I could drill this problem further down (or better: 
solve it :)?

TIA

/Markus.
