I ended up just writing it down:

--
Waiting 15 sec for SCSI devices to settle
(probe0:ahc0:0:0:0) SCB 0x0 - timed out while idle, LAST PHASE == 0x1,
SCSISIGI == 0x0
SEQADDR == 0x188
STATI(?) == 0x0
(probe0:ahc0:0:0:0) no longer in timeout status = 34b
ahc0: issued Channel A Bus Reset. 7SCBS aborted.
--

It then goes on, the probe number incrementing (eg, probe1:0;1:0) wthis the
same errors.

Any ideas?
