Hi all, I have NetBSD 0.9 installed in a micomp 25Mhz 486SX, with S3
localbus card, and a 100MB IDE drive. When I installed a borrowed AHA1542B
in the machine, it locks up on booting. If I try to boot from fooppy, it
locks up just after printing the message about mounting the root file
system from fd0, and when booting from the IDE, it locks up just after 
printing the message about 

biomask 4840 ttymask 2 netmask 200 impmask 202
wdc0: extra interrupt
wdc0: edtra interrupt

and then nothing... It seems to be when the AHA1542 is installed. I've
tried removing verious things, and it happens only when the SCSI controller
is installed. I also tried on another MB, with an 801 S3 video card, ans
it did exactly the same thing (Except that had only SCSI, no IDE).

Does anyone else remember seeing this? Is it a bug somewhere? HELLLLPPPP!!!!
