Same problem with both.  (I think making the macros inline and removing '&'
is worth commiting.)

First, there is a pause between printing "kbd0 at mainbus0" and the
following new-line character of roughly 105 seconds.  I'm guessing that
this is in the:

        for (timeout = 1000; timeout > 0; timeout--) {

loop starting at atari/dev/kbd.c:213 (netbsd-4 src), where we should wait
at most 100,000us (but more likely nearer 10,000us).  So, the 2 seconds
waiting for the SCSI bus might end up somewhere between 30 minutes and 5
hours.  (I'll leave the machine on overnight and see what happens.)

Thanks,

J
