  I'm trying to get BSD up and running on an EISA system with a 1742A
controller + SCSI drive.  The standard dist.fs comes up with the banner
and then a list of devices that it finds.  At this point, I get an
error:

  as0 at 0x330 irq 11 drq 5 on isa
  [...]
  as0b: controller error 0x12 reading fsbn 0
  scsi sense: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

  I do get a root prompt, but the the install program tells me I don't
have a hard drive installed.  I'm assuming that I need Julian's SCSI
drivers in order for this to work.  I do have the 1742A configured in
"standard mode", which should be compatible with the 1542.  Is there a
bootable image that has Julian's drivers on it, or is there something
else I've overlooked?
