I managed installing a 1542C SCSI into my system. After disabling all features
the standard as-driver has no problems. 

The first problems comes from disklabel, which gives nonsense parameters. Only
2048 secs/cyl and everything else was set to 0.

After entering the correct values for my drive i could install filesystems
on the
drive. But there is no chance to boot from the as0 device. The next problem
i got
when i tried to copy a bunch of files. After a few files copied the kernel
tells
me 'trap 19 ...' and i have to reboot.

Is there a newer SCSI driver for the kernel i should use?

I forget to mention that i boot from an ESDI drive.

Regards
       Frank
