Situation :
When scsi controler bios is installed (and the boot manager can see the
scsi drive) the machine gets all the way to the boot manager and just before
you would normaly see F1 F2 ... it prints out this error message with a lot
of (err=<blah blah>... ...) variable names and hex codes and ends with a
"System Halted" message. When the scsi card bios is disabled, the machine
boots fine I can mount the partitions I've created on the scsi disk.
This wouldn't normaly be a problem as I try to adopt the "if it ain't
broke philosophy, however I would like to be able to boot off of the scsi
drive.
I think I may have caused this problem with my efforts to label
newfs etc. etc. the scsi drive in question. The machine booted fine with
the scsi bios installed previous to this.
Included is my disklabel.

Anyone that might be able to point me in the right direction with this one
I would greatly apreciate it. Thanks.
