This is wrong, as I had the same problem (accompanied by a SCSI bus hang)
earlier today with my aha1542b and the 8 June NetBSD kernel compiled with
gcc 1.39 (wouldn't boot with gcc 2.4.3).  The timeout occurred about half an
hour after bootup.  In the past six or so months of running 386bsd with
Julian's SCSI subsystem and bde's intr/spl code I've never had any SCSI
problems.  Hmmm. :-(
