	Peter, i may be missing something obvious here.  your boot messges
	for the archive viper are identical to mine for the archive anaconda!

yours:
	(aha0:5:0): "ARCHIVE ANCDA 2750 28077 -003" type 1 removable SCSI 2
	st0(aha0:5:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x0,  drive empty
mine:
	(ncr1:4:0): "ARCHIVE ANCDA 2750 28077 -003" type 1 removable SCSI 2
	st0(ncr1:4:0): Sequential-Access 
	st0(ncr1:4:0): 200ns (5 Mb/sec) offset 8.
