If I have the right floppy, this is in scsi_get_predef.  This is the
second report of problems with a 2842 (but it could be the 3c509).
Can you try disabling (via the -c option at the boot prompt) any
unnecessary devices and see how far that gets you?  Can you also
try the following floppy?:

Freefall.cdrom.com:/incoming/294x_boot_144.flp.gz

It won't look like it is there, but trust me and just do a blind get on
it.

Can you also give me the probe messages above where you show here?

Thanks!
