One of our techs was trying to install FreeBSD 2.1.5 RELEASE this morning.
He'd gotten into sysinstall (unfortunately, I'm not sure just *where* in
sysinstall), and the debug screen showed the following:

ncr0: aborting job ...
ncr0:1 ERROR (90:0) (8-0-0) (0/13) @ (c8c:50000000)
       script cmd = 740a8700
       reg:     de 00 00 13 47 00 06 0f 35 08 81 00 90 00 0f 02.
ncr0: restart (fatal error).
sd0(ncr0:1:0): COMMAND FAILED (9 ff) @f0b1e800
sd0(ncr0:1:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 Mb/sec) offset 8.

I disabled the 2nd IDE controller (both onboard), for two reasons: 1.
he complained about a blank screen for about a minute or so during boot
up (I assume it was BIOS timing out on devices on 2nd ctrlr), and 2.
potential conflict with NCR on pci bus.

This seems to have fixed the problem.

I know it's not really a bug, per se, but perhaps it will help improve
handling of the condition, or maybe the 2nd ctrlr didn't really help,
just coincidence?  I don't know what the error codes mean...
