Hello,
I thought that my host adaptor is already at 7.

	>>> SHOW SCSI
		SCSI = 00007
	>>> SHOW DEV
		ESA0
		DKA0		A/0/0		RODISK		# CDROM
		DKA500	A/5/0		DISK			# internal disk
		DKA600	A/6/0		DISK			# external disk
		..HostID..	A/7		INITR

Is it possible that NetBSD always expects the host adaptor at address 6?
