We have just bought 3 machines with the STL2 motherboard for use as
webcaches (running squid).  We are having problems with SCSI errors:

Having done a web search I've found conflicting information about the status
of support for the STL2 under NetBSD.  Is there anyone who is running one of
these motherboards successfully inder heavy disk load, and if so which kernel
version?  We have to get these running within the next week or so, and
may have to switch to FreeBSD or Linux if NetBSD doesn't fully support them.
