I can't get NetBSD to run on my machine. Does someone knows if some of my
hardware is in conflict with NetBSD?

My hardware:

        A3000 KS3.1 WB3.1, SCSI_chip -08
        2 Hard-drives, connected to A3000-scsi, with unit 0 and 1
        VLab
        Cybervision64
        Apollo 040, 38MB, with SCSI-controller (no devices connected to this)
        ZIP, unit 5
        CD-Rom SCSI-2, unit 3

I am installing from "GateWay II".

When I follows the installer docs, and run with the NetBSD kernel on the CD,
NetBSD find the CyberVision64 (4MB), but can't reconise VLab/Apollo.

Then it prints this lines:

        ahsc0 at mainbus0
        sbicwait timeo@917 with asr=x0 csr=x0
        scsibus0 at ahsc0
        sbicwait timeo@1054 with asr=x0 csr=x0
           ||
           \/
         (forever)

I suppose there is a conflict with the SCSI-controller on the Apollo-card. If
it is, is there something to do with it, or do I just hope that NetBSD would
include support in next release, or any patches that will fix it?
