Recently, I added an ole CDC 91Mb HD. I run into the same problems
(I added a led indicator yesterday). The HD is completely devoted
to Macbsd and when it gets too busy, the led remains *on*, the
system freezes...
And sometimes I get scsi error 0 on it (with the netbsd11scsi-kernel).
When I build devices, does the Macbsdinstaller wants to know the type/
and/or speed of the HD on scsi #?
