    I have been battling this problem for quite some time now...
    I sure would appreciate some help, if anyone has any.  

    I am trying to install NetBSD on my 425M Fujitsu at SCSI ID 2.
      - I have a kc-aha.fs1 floppy with a new, re-built kernel that will
        set root partition to sd2.
      - I have modified the install script to prompt for the root partition.
        (So I can specify sd2 or sd0)
    
        When I try to boot the kc-aha floppy, (to begin installation)
	OR ANY DRIVE!!!!  I get the following messages:

	bt0 reading board settings, bt_cmd: bt742a cmd/data port full
	**bt0 at 0x330 irq 11 drq 5 on isa
	probing for scsi devices**
	cmd fail
	abort failed in wait

NOTE:  Configuration is the following: 
     - 486/33 w/20M RAM ISA bus   
     - Adaptec 1542C SCSI Host Adapter  
     - Brand BT9000S  210M internal SCSI drive at SCSI ID #0    
     - Fujitsu M2623F 425M external SCSI drive at SCSI ID #2
     - Toshiba XM3301B CD-ROM at SCSI ID #1  
       ALL SCSI devices terminated properly!
NOTE:  Adaptec software configuration:
     - Host Adapter SCSI Termination        <Disabled> 
     - Dynamically Scan SCSI Bus...         <Enabled>
