Dear Sirs.

Using FreeBSD 2.2.2 produces a lot of errors when booting.
I switched these days from FreeBSD 2.1.7.1 to FreeBSD 2.2.2
and my NCR 53C810 SCSI controler did its work well until the
switch. Sometimes when I must reboot the system this error
occurs like ncr0(0:0:0) FATAL ERROR and so on. I think its a
kernel problem and it should be possible to change some parameter 
to solve this problem.

An other problem occurs with my Wangtek ES5525 tape drive. When 
I made the last backup under FreeBSD 2.1.7.1 all things seemed
to be clear, now I can not load the backup from tape. The drives
move shortly forward, then backward, then forward again - like dancing,
then, after a while, an error occurs like bad block at ...
What happened to my drive? I think this is maybe a kernelproblem, too.

If anybody can help, I would appreciate any kind of help.

Thanks in advance

O. Hartmann
