da3: currently unplugged - same as da0..da2

All on a single channel. Properly terminated. 
Problem is the same whether drives are hardwired in the kernel or not.
I have increased SCSI_DELAY to 30 seconds.

Linux RedHat 6.0 and Solaris 7 can see all the drives.

The server is Intel 2U Rack Server with L440GX+ board and 
a single Pentium III.

>Description:

When all 4 drives are plugged-in, the boot process goes fine,
BIOS reports all of them (C..F). After SCSI bus reset
system aborts with no rootdev message. 
It's enough to unplug _any_ disk (despite da0 which contains the system)
and the system works fine.
Sometimes with full CAM debug enabled (all buses and targets) it works,
it happend to me that all disks showed up when booted with 3.2-Release
install floppy.

>How-To-Repeat:

Plug all 4 IBM 18GB drives onto one channel.

>Fix:

None :(
