Well, I have FreeBSD 3.0-970209-SNAP on a disk which I just plugged into
the system and booted it up. Just as with NetBSD, it wrote the disklabel
just fine, and started up the newfs. But after it got a ways through it,
the system paused (for a shorter time than NetBSD did) then started
putting out messages similar to those I saw on NetBSD.

Are there maybe updates to aic7xxx.c since the 3.0-970209-SNAP?

We're now investigating cable and termination problems (everything was
installed by the book, but maybe the book doesn't know about black
magic). Any other insights would be helpful, though.
