In trying to boot dist.fs on an Intel 403e with
a adaptec AHA-1740A/1742A controller, I get
the following fatal error messages from the
hard disk driver:

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

In other words, gave up on block 0. I presume
the above device is actually as0d since as0b
doesn't exist and install install fails the same way, 
except the device is as0d?  Any suggestions as
to why the driver is failing?

Any help appreciated. Thanks.
