Thanks for your reply.
I tried to reinstall several times. Usually I can boot the first time after
installation, and then I get the same errors again.

I get lots of INCORRECT BLOCK COUNT errors during the file system checks,
some SEGMENTATION FAULT messages and it often end in a "panic: init died
(signal 0, exit 11), stopped at  _Debugger+0x6: unlk a6" or sometimes
"panic: ffs_valloc: dup alloc, stopped at..."
Yesterday, I used it for a while after having reformatted and reinstalled
the whole system. I had several Input/Output errors, couldn't launch some
applications. I tried to launch some /usr/games/ files, got not found error
messages (but the file names where displayed when I was doing ls).
I had problems editing the password file too (using vipw).

It looks like if some files are damaged when I try to use them. I usually
get lots of Input/output errors when I try functions or applications. Maybe
the new scsi driver is not already at it's top.

At the end of this message, I added a "standard" log I wrote down after a
boot failed. It was the second time I tried to boot after having
reinstalled the files. If somebody can make something of that stuff.

Thanks for any help.

PS: is there a way to have this log written to a file while booting? The
booter's bootlog stops when NetBSD starts and this second part is probably
interesting too.
