        ^-- I believe this may be your problem - its not detecting any
            scsi disks. You should see lines such as 'sd0 at msc0 ...'
            (I'm assuming msc0 is a scsi controller - it could equally
            be the 'board at zbus0: rom0xeb0000' line below not picking
            up your scsi controller.

        Confirm if your scsi controller is supported by NetBSD/amiga, and
        that the scsi bus is correctly terminated (also try removing
        excess devices to test)
