What you get looks rather promising. What's missing is the SCSI-driver
(ncr0/ncr1 and sd0/...), seems that the driver is not compiled into
your kernel or something similiar.

With a kernel with SCSI support you'd answer "sd0a" when asked for
the "root device:" and the show should go on (modulo some DMA errors).
