We tried to put 3 new Quantum Grand Prix drives onto a Adaptec 174x SCSI
card. Pity that the Adaptec cards have a problem talking to the drives
or something and the SCSI bus just kept locking up. This somehow forced
the system to spam the entries for /dev/*sd0*. This meant that we
couldn't even remount the drive read-write to correct the /dev entries.

Also, the upgrade to -current has been scheduled for a LONG time 'cos we
NEED (urgently) large filesystem (>>2Gb) support.
