Hmm, what kind of SCSI-controller is it and does the NetBSD kernel find
it? The loader uses firmware routines to load the kernel as far as I
know so if the controller is something NetBSD doesn't know you have a
problem. It /should/ ask for a root device in this case though. Any
chance to use some IDE disk for now ( so you have something to boot from
and an easy way to try other kernels ).
It may be a good idea to double-check all the SCSI cabling before doing
anything else though.

have fun
Michael
