After the SCSI bus is scanned, do you see something indicating wide
negotiation and / or sync negotiation?

Like:
sd0 at scsibus0 target 0 lun 0: <IBM, DDYS-T18350N, S80D> SCSI3 0/direct fixed
sd0: 17501 MB, 15110 cyl, 6 head, 395 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 35843670 sectors
cbiiisc0: target 1 now wide 1
cbiiisc0: target 1 now synchronous, period=50ns, offset=16

Your SCSI bus may be cranky. Try to turn off sychronous mode by typing
this in when the bootblocks give you a prompt:
-I ff
You may want to include -b, too, since this will prompt you for a root
device.

Good luck,
