# 
# I have a couple of FSBE/S cards (Fast SCSI-2, buffered 10-base-T Ethernet
# on a single slot Sbus card), and was wondering if anyone had already
# tweaked the esp driver (or the le driver) to deal with them. The
# GENERIC_SCSI3 NetBSD 1.2 kernel I booted on a 48MB SPARCclassic says:
# 
# dma1 at sbus0 slot 1 offset 0x81000: rev unknown
# esp1 at dma1 slot 0x1 offset 0x80000 pri 5: ESP200 40Mhz, target 7
# scsibus1 at esp1
# lebuffer at sbus0 slot 1 offset 0x40000 not configured
# 
# so it partially recognizes the card...

Well, this shows that the device probe located the card but the kernel
did not have the drivers compiled in.  If you look at the GENERIC_SCSI3
config file, you will notice that 'device lebuffer' is commented out,
and yes, as you surmised, the glue has not set yet, as I don't think
uncommenting the line will allow you to generate a kernel (yet).

(This as of 11/13 since I need to rebuild sup.  This should be rather
 interesteresteresting...)
