/*
* Whenever I try to use a scsi-disk in combination with my ESDI-behind-
* scsi-bridge I get a "esp0: RESELECT: 7 bytes in FIFO!". Is this a problem
* with the esp code, a problem with the esdi adapter (it is the Emulex
* controller used in sun's shoebox) or a result of the combination of the
* esp controller and the esdi disk?
*
*
I get the same thing with pure SCSI devices.
Actually, I'm now having two problems. Here I am at home (no networking):
SPARCstation SLC 16MB RAM (Hey, it was free!)
Sun 669MB disk
Sun 327MB disk
EXB-8200 8mm tape drive (shows up as "rogue", mt doesn't recog)
Sun CD-ROM (no problems -- yet)
1) There's the problem of timeouts which is preventing me from loading
the distribution from tape :-( (I'm at home with no networking and would
like to build -current).
2) newfs fails on sd3* with
newfs: cannot write block [sizeof(fs) -1] (or something)
wtfs: Undefined error: 0
* If, as I assume, this is the result of the Emulex controller not
* supporting reselects properly, can I disable the reselect code and let
* each transfer to one disk complete before another transfer on another
* disk is attempted? This would allow me to transfer my current
* installation to a real scsi disk at least.
