The same sort of problems was introduced by pk 2.4 and is still there
in FreeBSD. I am running a SCSI disk and a IDE on a 386/387 33Mhz.
The wd seems to get stuck with the disk ligth on, and then the aha
device times out.

A long time ago somebody reported this problem and someone from
NetBSD responded that it was fixed.  I think, it might have something
to do with the new interrupt code.

By the way, does anybody know why the man2 pages is absent from
the source tree in the source dist og FreeBSD??
