I realise (it was kindly pointed out) that this was originally mailed

Greetings and happy new year,

I'm having some problems with NetBSD 1.1 and the Adaptec 2940 (wide) 
which results in

Dec 30 16:32:22 hock /netbsd: ahc0: ahc_scsi_cmd: more than 256 dma segs

followed by a freeze (no panic). This appeears to be the cause of the
lock ups as it's happened a few times.

Could some kind device driver/kernel hacker please shed some light
on this problem and perhaps provide some advice as to a fix. 

Please let me know if you need more detail wrt the system config.

Many thanks,
Greg.
