Subject: More on NCA 54AS motherboard w/Adaptec 7850 controller

I've found that the Adaptec 7850 controller on the NCA 54AS board returns
a PCI_DEVICE_ID of 0x50789004 instead of the number expected in the
aic7870 probe routine.

I added an appropriate entry to aic7870_probe  and aic7870_attach.

During the boot I then got a Memory Parity error while a -current
kernel was trying to access the adaptec controller.

I disabled memory parity checking.

Now it gets through the boot, sees the controller, IDs the drives
on the BUS, goes through the remainder of the device probes,
and just as it seems to be about to check the file system,
I get millions of the same message that is utterly unreadable
but looks like:

Warning: ... NN somethingorother ... does not .. command
NN.............................................
NN.............................................

And NN is a number that seems to be counting from 00 to 39 or 49,
but may be jumping like 00, 03, 08, ...
It is all hard to read.
