Never mind. I finally switched back to the other motherboard I had access
to, and it works fine. I guess my Soyo motherboard was unable to handle SCSI
controllers - my guess is that the HPT370 BIOS was fragging something.
So, I went to my "old reliable" BP6 (which wouldn't handle an ATA66 drive
on an ATA66 bus unless I used the old 40-pin cables), and now everything is
happy.
Speaking of which, when will -current do multiprocessor on i386?
