I've seen the SCSI port wedge on:
Sun 3 hardware
Sun sparc hardware
Intel boxes with any of the Adaptec 154x and 174x family of SCSI controllers
NCR UNIX boxes

I can't say that I've ever tried it with NetBSD.  I've seen both SCO UNIX
and SunOS 4.1.3 contaminate filesystems after SCSI termination was removed
by a scavenger.  Solaris 2.x and others just wedge.
