- Not nice.. this says (csr=x41): unexpected disconnect by
- target!

- > scsi0: target 6 now synchronous, period=248 ns, offset=8.
-
- Since it is followed by this line, I guess (pure guess
- though...) your drive didn't like the sync handshake as
- part of the ID handshake, or it plain doesn't want to
- take any commands after setting sync parameters, ie. you'd
- have to re-select the drive afterwards.

-
- No wonder.. after the scsi0: target .. line it should have
- printed a line identifying your drive, ie. saying something like
- sd6: QUANTUM...
- Since it didn't, it wasn't even able to read the IDENDTIFY
- string from the device.
- Only difference between 500 and 508 is sync-support, so your
- drive apparently didn't like sync setup... If you have the space
- and the environment to recompile the kernel, have a look at scsi.c,
- there's this yet unused array called "inhibit_sync". Put a 1
- in the slot corresponding to your Quantum, and retry the boot.
- Note: although this trick inhibits setup of sync handshake, it will
- not - as former versions of the kernel did - reset the drive. The
- reason behind: I guess if the drive has problems with sync mode under
- BSD, it has problems with sync mode under ADOS too, so ADOS won't
- have initialized it to sync mode, and then we don't have to reset it
- to clear sync mode either.

- > Quantum Prodrive 105S at SCSI ID 6
-
- Is this a predecessor of the LP105S? Just asking, because the
- kernel works fine on my LP105S.
-
- > Insite Floptical 21MB removable at SCSI ID 2
-
- Was there a medium inside the floptical when booting? Just
- wondering why the drive doesn't show up in the scan.

-
- Hmm.. it would be easy to just blame the proto chip, I think
- it's something nastier..
