Running ASUS P2B-S motherboard, with a PII/450.  Using the onboard AIC-7890
controller with a Quantum Viking II 4.5WLS Ultra-LVD drive, attempting to
install FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE.

After the full-screen visual config, it starts to load the kernel.  After
going through the hardware detection, it gets to the point where it says,
"waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle" or something close.  Then I
start getting errors:

Unexpected busfree.  LASTPHASE == 0x40
SEQADDR == 0x8a
(probe0:ahc0:0:0:1):SCB 0x0 - timed out in datain phase, SEQADDR==0x88
(probe0:ahc0:0:0:1):BDR message in message buffer
(probe0:ahc0:0:0:1):SCB 0x0 - timed out in datain phase, SEQADDR==0x87
(probe0:ahc0:0:0:1):no longer in timeout, status=34b
ahc0: Issued Channel A Bus Reset. 1 SCBs aborted

This block of messages is repeated ad nauseum, or at least for 10 minutes,
when I turn the machine off.  

On boot-up, everything identifies itself correctly.  If I go into the
on-board SCSI-Select utility, it identifies the hard drive, and I can run
the low-level format, so the controller and drive appear to be
communicating.  I've verified the drive is terminated, verified we're in LVD
mode, and tried different SCSI IDs.  Any suggestions on what to look at
next?

Thanks,
