The NCR driver in NetBSD-1.2 failed for me a number of times, don't know how close it is to FreeBSD. It seems the adaptec driver is better when you happen to get the right version (avoid releases ;-), while the integral of good state over time is better for the NCR. BTW, I'm now having problems with a 1542-baded machine under heavy load, too. Ran completely stable under 960801-SNAP and 2.2BETA, but now (2.2 until 2.2-STABLE of a few days ago) permanently destroys its filesystems under load. I'm pretty sure its not hardware.
