I have an Intel Premiere II (Neptune) motherboard and an NCR 810 PCI
SCSI controller built by ASUSTeK (the PCI-SC200). When I try to boot
BSDI 2.0.1, it prints Loading /boot and then resets. I'm using the
biosboot/bootbios boot blocks. The very same boot blocks work fine
with an AHA 1542. I've replaced the 810 with some other similar boards
(815 and 825) and they show the same symptom. NetBSD boots fine from
these boards on the same machine. Any idea how to fix this?
