This system is running RELENG_2_2 as of the evening of April 20. 
"options FAILSAFE" is in my config file.

Reported this problem several weeks ago but got no replies:

At the very least, can somebody decode the above and explain? Bad 
blocks? Disk? Card?

This is what dmesg has to say (at boot) about my SCSI stuff:

Just today I was planning on pulling the little 2G drive off the 2940 
for Macintosh use. Was thinking about leaving the 2940 in for tape 
drives only, also thinking about using the narrow internal connector on 
the Asus SC875 for the tape drives. But if funny things are happening 
I'd rather not mess with what works. Then again, maybe moving the tapes 
to to ncr0 would break things bad enough to find the problem?

Any ideas? Firmware in the IBM 9G drive? Firmware on the '875? Bad 
cables?
