Answering my own question after some shopping: CABLE !

New cable, new life.  Never trust a cable just because it
worked some time ago.  :)

#define quoting(jonny)
// 
//   I've been running -stable with a SCSI cdrom and a External ZIP SCSI,
// both attached to a 1542CF, without problems.  Today I exchanged by
// external drive for an internal one, enabled termination on Adaptec
// Card, disabled termination in the Internal ZIP, which is in the
// middle of SCSI chain, and booted.  Both devices are recognized during
// boot:
// 
// aha0 at 0x334-0x337 irq 11 drq 6 on isa
// (aha0:3:0): "TEAC CD-ROM CD-56S 1.0B" type 5 removable SCSI 2
// cd0(aha0:3:0): CD-ROM cd present [400000 x 2048 byte records]
// (aha0:5:0): "IOMEGA ZIP 100 E.08" type 0 removable SCSI 2
// od0(aha0:5:0): Optical od not present
// od0(aha0:5:0): with approximate 0 cyls, 0 heads, and 0 sectors/track
// 
// (Oh yes, I'm using the "ZIP as od patches", and love them !  :) )
// 
// 
//   Acessing any of those SCSI devices generates messages like these
// after some time:
// 
// ...
// Mar 18 06:06:53 dogbert /kernel: aha0: Invalid bus phase/sequence
// Mar 18 06:06:55 dogbert /kernel: cd0(aha0:3:0): UNIT ATTENTION asc:29,0
// Mar 18 06:06:55 dogbert /kernel: cd0(aha0:3:0):  Power on, reset, or bus device reset occurred
// ...
// Mar 18 07:40:47 dogbert /kernel: od0(aha0:5:0): UNIT ATTENTION asc:29,0
// Mar 18 07:40:47 dogbert /kernel: od0(aha0:5:0):  Power on, reset, or bus device reset occurred
// Mar 18 07:40:47 dogbert /kernel: , retries:2
// ...
// 
//   DOS/Windows also locks (without FreeBSD's messages, and REAL multitasking
// it's a real mess :) ), so it must be a hardware problem.  AHA1542 DMA Speed
// setting is at 5MB/s, the DMA tests works between 3.3 and 6.7, but the error
// occurs in all of them.  Using any drive isolated works without problems.
// 
//   I've been thinking about cable (I'll try to find a new one today), but
// I've used the middle conector before to connect an old SCSI HD, without
// problems.
