Yes.  This was fixed a couple of months ago when a couple of dedicated
IIsi/vx users took the time to find a fix.  I integrated their fix into
the main source tree and -current has supported the IIsi, IIvx, IIvi,
and Performa 600 ADB systems since.  You'll need to grab the latest
snapshot kernel and booter 1.6 to get it to work, though.

I suggest that you subscribe to the macbsd-general@netbsd.org mailing
list for some more help--there are several IIsi users on that list.
