The error you are seeing is part of a hardware bug in the SCSI chip that
affects not only the early sun4c models, but the sun3x as well.  The
current solution is to disable SCSI target disconnection.  From what I
know, I believe you must do this with special flags in your kernel config
file.  Can someone who knows the details post them?
