Well, the NCR driver falls into my area of responsibility ...

Let's see:

} ncr0: aborting job

} script cmd = 740a8700
} reg da 00 00 13 47 08 00 0f 35 08 00 00 80 00 07 0b

This looks VERY wrong.

The NCR driver seems to hang in the reselect code.

Could you please reboot with "-v" entered at the 
boot prompt, and send me the boot message log ?

I'll look into this as soon as I find the time.

Regards, STefan
