ISTR someone recently AFAIK the on-board SCSI controller is a FAS366 which is supported by esp(4).

With the switch to uart(4) as the default console in GENERIC there currently is no console support for these machines. Marcel probably will commit a hack to puc(4) soon to make the Z8530 on the FireHose bus work. Ideally fhc(4) should be fixed so this hack isn't required but so far I didn't manage to get access to an E[3-5]000 series machines to test the required changes.
