Thanks to Carl Dietz <dietz@max> and Brian Somers
<brian@anorak.coverform.lan> for suggesting solution for my
problem. However, the problem still exists.
I checked the terminations, they are OK.
I also checked that the card is firmly in place.
What wonders me is that BIOS always finds the disks, as does the
dos drivers that came with the PCI card.
I also tried Linux 2.0 bootdisk with NCR support several times,
and it booted OK every time.
I noticed that if I let the disks spin for 10-15 minutes before
I boot FreeBSD, the problem disappears. Seems like the NCR driver
doesn't like to coldboot my computer?
I include here some of the error messages as well as the messages when
it boots normally, so someone who's interested can take a look at them..
I booted FreeBSD with option -v, so the listings are long.
-- dmesg when fail ----------------------------------------
-- (I wonder where the beginning of the messages has disappeared.
-- Is there a limit in /dev/klog?).
