...and never comes back?  Hmmm...  Is your disk jumpered to spin up
automatically?  Are you sure the bus is properly terminated?

I'm not sure what else it might be, off-hand.  I'm running off
scsi/sd@0:0 and it's working fine, but after a cold boot, I need
to "boot" twice--the first one spins the drive up, and the second
actually boots.  I believe theres an nvramrc fix for that which I
lost when I zapped the PRAM once.  :-)

I will also note that if I halt and get back to OFW, I get a "CLAIM
failed" when I try to boot.  That's fixed by a "three-finger-salute"
reset.
