Well I don't know for sure about the Cumana card but I've managed to get
things going here with a Powertec card :-)

You've just got to recompile the kernel without SCSI support.  Of course you
can't use the SCSI card but at least it stops the kernel hanging on boot.
There's probably a fix needed to actually get SCSI working but I'm happy
without ;-)

If anyone wants details of what I did, drop me an email and I'll write it all
down.  You just need to download the kernel source, change a couple of text
files and recompile the kernel; it takes a while but it works...

Cheers,

PS I like this NetBSD, well done all you porters :-)
