here is some rope :) I have used this on our webcache since 
3.1-stable shortly before 3.1-release, as far as I can tell, it's 
been no less reliable than servers using identical hardware 
running at 40MB/s.

add the following to your kernel config,

   options SCSI_NCR_DFLT_SYNC=10

you should probably make clean && make depend && make all when
building it.

da1 at ncr0 bus 0 target 1 lun 0
da1: <HP 9.10GB A 80-6331 > Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device
da1: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 15, 16bit), Tagged Queueing
Enabled
da1: 8678MB (17773524 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1106C)
da0 at ncr0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <HP 9.10GB A 80-DC1B DC1B> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device
da0: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 15, 16bit), Tagged Queueing
Enabled
da0: 8678MB (17773524 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1106C)

BTW for anyone interested: the 895 support in FreeBSD works on more 
machines (specifically, HP LH4r - not tried in raid mode just as a 
standard controller) than Linux (redhat6, which fails at loading 
scripts code stage).
