Hi,

Thanks for all who are involved in the development of FreeBSD!! As
announced, the support for AHA2940 in 950322-SNAP has been greatly
improved. It now works when the machine even cold-boots and I no
longer need to disalbe "disconnection" switch in SCSIselect. But there
seems to be several problems unsolved.

 1) I occasionally encounter "ahc0: target 0, lun 0 (sd0) time out"
    whent the disk is used intensively.

 2) When I set the transfer rate to 10Mb/s in SCSIselect, the machine
    doesn't boot. 8Mb/s works for me. 

I'm using an active terminator and relatively short cables so I
believe there is no problem regarding SCSI termination..

I hope this information helps for the next release of FreeBSD.
