Hmmm, I'm stumped.  

FreeBSD 1.1.5.1, ncrscsi 2.1 kit.  DEC 486-66XL, DEC DSP3107 drive,


The /386bsd that comes with the kit boots and works fine, I'm not
sure it's 2.1 though, as the messages come out weird.

In any case, I ran the install, built GENERICNCR, and try to reboot.

No can do.  It stops with a "can't mount root", which is true, it
never did find sd0 in the probe, although it did find cd0, and the NCR
chip, which are on the same chain as sd0.

I also tried configuring the chip manuall, with the pci{slot-number} stuff,
and that won't work either...

Here's my GENERICNCR and TYPICAL config files, just in case there's 
something massively wrong with them and I am missing it.  

I don't have dmesg output from when it panics, for obvious reasons.
