[snip scsi stuff]

Roger, I have the same problem as you. It isn't anything to do with SCSI chain
termination as far as I can tell. Some change between 1.3.1 and 1.4.1 has just
broken support for IIvx. Since I don't have enough disk on my IIvx to recompile
the kernel, I don't think I'll be finding that bug anytime soon. Also, there
don't seem to be many people using NetBSD on IIvx, so getting other people to
do it might be a bit difficult.

Regards,
Andrew
