I believe that this is an issue with CAM. I have a bunch of DEC RZ25 disks here which work fine with ULTRIX, NetBSD and Linux on several different machines. After upgrading from FreeBSD-2.2.6 to 3.0 (and -current) the system hangs on boot whenever an RZ25 is hooked up. This is with a crappy 'ol Adaptec 1542CP controller.
