I saw this once or twice, but don't know what I did to fix it; I'd
be inclined to slow the SCSI bus down as much as possible, and turn
off sync negotiation, fast SCSI and enable disconnect at the Adaptec's
'Ctrl-A' bios menu. I run plan 9 on a 1542CF with less restrictive
settings, but that might get it to boot. The other thing might be
to stop the CP automatically reconfiguring itself, if it does - I
haven't used one.
