For each SCSI ID that is inquired at boot it gives me 5 errors and moves on to the next ID. When it has scanned all the IDs it continues to boot normally. However, both the SCSI BIOS and other OS's are able to use the drive without problems, so it seems to me that the problem lies somewhere within the CAM subsystem. I have too little experience with CAM to tell for sure, though. I'll try one of the boot floppies with CAM-enabled kernels and see what happens. Thanks for the help so far, anyway. --- Erik H.
