I am not sure this is the correct group to post this problem to so if
it isn't pointers to the appropriate place would be appreciated.

I recently changed my 2.2.5 system to run the Dec 25 snap release of
3.0. Before making the change I backed up my system on to a SCSI DAT
device. After making the change I tried to access the dump tapes I
made and I got errors of the following form:

aha0: DMA beyond end Of ISA: 0x12bad10

and accesses to the drive fail with tape i/o errors. Since then I have
tried some the newer SNAP releases and the problem remains. I have
searched the FreeBSD web site in the bug lists and mailing lists and
there are some mentions of this problem as far back as the summer of
'97, but no followups, as far as I could find, indicating how to fix
the problem. In addition to having problems with the SCSI tape, there
are also problems with the SCSI CDROM device. IF there isn't a disk in when
the machine boots then I can't mount the CD and there are similar DMA
errors reported. 

The system configuration is 

ASUS P/I P55SP4 mother board with P75 
1 SMC Ethernet card
Adaptec 1542CF SCSI Controller 
2 Western Digital hard drives

Here is the output from dmesg and at the very end are messages from
the commands

mt fsf 1   and
restore -i
(The last two messages appear when the restore command is given)
