I have the same problem wit a ELC and a Quantum disk (and source from 
960524). I'm not used to debug kernels, so I do not know what type of 
information you need, but here are the messages I got I tried to boot (I 
hope I have written them correctly... I do not have more than one 
machine, so I had to write down what I saw on the screen, and the sparc 
writes faster than I do. But I have checked it, and I think it is right.)

scsibus at esp0
dma0: xfer (-65492) > req (44)

and so it goes for a while, and then does the same for my 2nd disk...
