Hello!

I'm attempting to install 2.2-BETA_A on a SiS Pentium 100 system, and the
ncr startup locks the system up just after 

ncr0 waiting for devices to settle

This machine works perfectly with 2.2-ALPHA.  I've booted -c and reduced
the devices to the bare necessities with no change.  

System Specifics:

Sis 54P chipset, Pentium 100 CPU, 32MB RAM
NCR 53c815 SCSI controller w/ SDMS 3.0 BIOS 
Connected devices:
	Plextor 4PlexPLus CDROM
	Sony CDU-76S CDROM
NE2000 network card
ATI Mach64 video

Probe from 2.2-ALPHA follows:

ncr0 <ncr 53c815 scsi> rev 3 int a irq 11 on pci0:13
ncr0 waiting for scsi devices to settle          <-- 2.2-BETA stops here
(ncr0:3:0): "PLEXTOR CD-ROM PX-4XCE 1.00" type 5 removable SCSI 2
cd0(ncr0:3:0): CD-ROM 
cd0(ncr0:3:0): FAST SCSI-2 175ns (6 Mb/sec) offset 8.
cd present [263729 x 2048 byte records]
(ncr0:4:0): "SONY CD-ROM CDU-76S 1.1c" type 5 removable SCSI 2
cd1(ncr0:4:0): CD-ROM 
cd1(ncr0:4:0): 200ns (5 Mb/sec) offset 8.

cd1(ncr0:4:0): UNIT ATTENTION asc:28,0
cd1(ncr0:4:0):  Not ready to ready transition, medium may have changed
cd present [400000 x 2048 byte records]

The SCSI devices to receive the bus reset, as the lights on the CDROMs
light up, but that's all.  The floppy drive light is stuck on and the
keyboard LEDs don't function when the lockup occurs.

There were no changes to the system configuration between shutting down
2.2-ALPHA and booting the BETA floppy.

Sorry for taking so long to report this; today is the only time I've had
to try plugging in BETA.

Boot -v and other information available by request.
