I have been trying to get netbsd running on
an ultra2. I am using stock 9gb sca internal
drives. The fas driver however doesn't seem to
want to play ball:

root device (default sd0a):


I see these errors with 1.5.2 and snapshots from releng.
Solaris on the otherhand install perfectly fine on the machine,
which imho should rule out most cabeling probs. And the
same disk with the same default kernel/install boots
perfectly on an U60.
