I'm getting similar problems on FreeBSD 1.1 on an AHA1542B, using the same
drive (Quantum LPS540).  The errors show up as timeouts on sd0, and
occasionally as an error something like: (AHA0:0:0 timeout).  These
happen a lot when doing any install, and they even happen when the
system is just sitting there (demons running, no net traffic, nobody
logged in, no swap).  It's really bugging me, because the drive/controller
combo works, if gen'd for DOS.
