OK.  I think this machine uses the esp SCSI driver -- is that correct?

I'd recommend using one of the -current kernels that I've compiled, found
on ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/mac68k/kernels/.  GENERIC-13 is
probably your best bet.

This might be harmless, or might be the sign of a troubled SCSI driver.
It's hard to tell from what you mentioned here.

Segmentation faults, illegal instruction traps, and perhaps another odd
error or two can be the result of a bug that affects all LC040-based
machines.  This bug doesn't always hit the same way, but results in a
practically unusable system.

At the present time, no LC040-based system -- whether Mac or not -- will
run NetBSD reliably, even with the math libraries that aren't as
stressful to the system (i.e. libm-nomc68881).
