  The A3000 SCSI adapter is supported - but only when the machine type is
detected to be an A3000.  The A3000 test(s) don't seem to be working on this
configuration.

  You can force the machine type with the -c3000 option on the boot command.

NetBSD/Amiga BootBLock loader 0.3 (10.2.96)
/netbsd -bsASc3000

  Hopefully this will work a little better.
