The looping `esp0: SCSI bus reset' problem is not specific to the
NeXT, as it turns out. I still don't know whether SCSI works with
devices plugged in.

Both of these are actually caused by the same problem: sometimes an
extra byte is stuffed at the front of a received frame, which causes
it to be discarded, and -- if it was a maximum-size packet to begin
with -- oversized. I've fixed the boot block so it will retransmit,
which sidesteps the problem.
