	either the Future Domain TMC-850 SCSI Controller 
	or the Toshiba XM-3401 CD could be your problem.

	the stock Future Domain TMC-850 SCSI Controller had some problems and
	has been replaced.

	some Toshiba cdrom drive *lie* and claim to be harddisks.  as in:

aha0 targ 6 lun 0: type 0(direct) fixed SCSI2
aha0 targ 6 lun 0: <TOSHIBA CD-ROM DRIVE:XM 1971>

	that "fixed" should be removeable.  i got around this by hacking
	the scsi code to recognize the toshiba as a cdrom anyway.

	can you install on something else and build a new kernel??  the new
	kernel should have the new Future Domain code and some hacks
	to get the cdrom recognized (i can provide the code fro both)

	unfortunately i am not setup to cut boot floppies ;(((
