I have been fighting with the upgrade on our NCR S-40.  I think I am having
trouble with the Adaptec AIC-7870 controller we have.
I contacted BSDI support and have tried every setting I can find as well as
getting the latest bios upgrade from NCR.  
The server has been up for the last year working great with 2.1.
The 3.0 upgrade goes okay except for the /etc/rc and the /etc/daily.local
files needing massaged.  As soon as I reboot I have to run fsck manually
and once it is running it will hang intermitantly. I re-installed three
times so far.
I'm back to 2.1 until the bugs get worked out.
