No, it doesn't. I know how to deal with the Tekram DC390W/U/F
cards config NVRAM, but not with that of the Symbios cards 
(and any card using SDMS as its BIOS). I did not have time
to complete the initialization of driver parameters from
NVRAM values, but have working code to dump the Tekram cards'
setup (its in -current). I'll complete the code as soon as
I have the time, but can't guarantee a date for when it will
be available (due to being overloaded with paid work, currently).

Yes, please add it to /etc/rc. It should be executed as early
as possible. We are just trying to identify the cause of the
problem, and you will be able to remove that "ncrcontrol"
invocation later ...

I don't need all of dmesg, but all lines that might contain 
information about the error. This will be up to 10 lines above
the COMMAND FAILED message (and perhaps a few more below).

The system retries the failed operation, and will succeed on
second try, most of the time. But I don't see that message at
all, and I'm also using an IBM DORS ...
