Some HP drives don't grok tagged commands (not only with FreeBSD, but
with *any* system).

Use

	option	"SCSI_NCR_DFLT_TAGS=0"

in your config file to force the ncr driver to not use tagged
commands.  (If you've got more than one drive, you could turn on
tagged commands on a per-drive basis once the system has booted using
the ncrcontrol command.)
