Have you already solved "bad  address" or "Input/output error" problem?

If not, and if I were in your case, I'd do below before re-install NetBSD;

1.- Remember that '030's SCSI is more 'case sensitive' than '040.
      (1.6.2 netbsd-INSTALLSBC kernel has a problem for SE/30).

2.- Check HDD model number in the dmesg, and go to
      "Disc Products Hawk Family".
      http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/specs/family_hawk.html

3.- If HDD model number is ST12400N for example,
      read "installation Guide" P-28, and
      make sure "Enable Motor Start" jumper pin is [OFF].
      This is important.
      Yes, "Enable Motor Start" jumper pin must be [NO].

      Is your SE/30's power suply OK for 128 MB of RAM and Seagate
      Hawk?

4.- Search NetBSD.org with keywords = Seagate ST12400N
      http://www.netbsd.org/

      I found some interesting posts such as;

----------------------

My PB165 with DaynaPORT SCSI/Link-T also has "Bad address" problem.
I'm guessing that "Bad address" is something related Pseudo DMA ... (?)

This FAQ seems old, but it's interesting for learning NetBSD.
