   Need a recommendation: What SCSI host Adapter should I buy to run NETBSD 1.0
   or FreeBSD on a Plato P54C/PCI Pentium system?

I can only speak for FreeBSD.  If you have a PLATO or late Intel-chipset
motherboard, you can use a Buslogic Bt946c controller.  I did, and it
worked nicely.  If you have another brand of motherboard which will more
than likely not play nice with a Buslogic, then try an NCR controller.
I have some of those working well too.
