  That indicates that no 'a' partition was found on any disks.  This
can happen if the scsi controller driver(s) don't find any disks,
or if there is a problem reading the disk such that the RDB blocks
aren't found.

  Do the config messages print out the identification of your disks?
(I.e. something like:  ahsc0 targ 6 lun 0 <....> SCSI1 direct fixed
followed by: sd6 at scsibus0: xxxMB, xxx cyl, xxx head, xx sec.)

  Also, does the startup message indicate an Amiga 3000?  If loadbsd
or the kernel doesn't detect the A3000, it won't configure the A3000
SCSI.
