I have recently 'upgraded' several computers from Linux to FreeBSD (various
2.1-SNAPs) and although everything is mostly going OK, I have noticed one
very annoying thing and that is FreeBSD often doesn't boot properly after a
warm boot - particularly after rebooting from DOS. Both the NCR SCSI and
the 3Com 3C509 don't seem to initialise the cards/chips properly as both
sometimes fail to work following a warm boot and require a cold boot to
function.

I remember reading somewhere that this was a problem with the 3c509 driver,
but the NCR also has problems which is a little strange.

Would it be possible to simply snarf the initialisation code from the
respective Linux drivers as that never had any problems booting up?
