I just installed a SCSI disk into my machine.  It's an older Conner 540MB
drive (CP3540), but this drive has been serving me well in another
machine.  I have it partitioned into a ~150MB /home partition, a ~32MB
auxiliary swap partition, and two other partitions (one ~200MB and one
~150MB) that are currently not in use.

Anyway, after I installed and partitioned this disk, I started to get
these error messages both on my console (in bright white letters) and in
my syslogs.  These messages do not cause a kernel panic or something, and
the system seems to run well despite them.  Since seeing the first message
I've been making hourly backups of my /home partition and comparing them,
and all the data compares OK.  Visually inspecting the files in /home
shows no errors either.

What could be going on here?  Any ideas?  I have already checked SCSI IDs
and termination, and everything is A-OK.

Please respond by e-mail if possible.  Thanks!

OS: FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE running on a home-grown (i.e. clone) 486DX4/133
PCI motherboard.  Other PCI devices: Cirrus Logic CL-GD5440 clone video
board, and clone NE2000 Ethernet board (realtek 8029, I think).
