>Description:

When I connect the Exabyte 8505XL to the SCSI bus (as target 6) and try to 
boot, the following happens...(The Exabyte is detected happily by the
Adaptec's preboot probing and the ID string is displayed).

ahc0:A:6: refuses WIDE negotiation.  Using 8bit transfers
ahc0: board is not responding
(ahc0:6:0): time out in datain phase, SCSISIGI==0x44 SEQADDR==0x13b
(ahc0:6:0): abort message in message buffer
ahc0: board is not responding
cmd fail
(ahc0:6:0): "unknown unknown ?????" type 13 fixed SCSI 0
uk0(ahc0:6:0): Unknown
ahc0: board is not responding
(ahc0:6:1): time out......

     repeat for all the LUNs followed by a reboot


>How-To-Repeat:

add the Exabyte to the bus.
