| I assume that you are trying to install unix on the unit on the hsz?
When you say query, is that query from the console code or the unix
install ?

| I have a similar problem on AS255 running dUNIX V4.0B.
These systems only use the internal SCSI but exhibit the same problem.
Often the systems hang or "try to crash" on reboot or boot after power-up when
accessing the SCSI bus (Loading SIOP .....).
I have opened an IPMT and this problem is being worked on.

| To answer the first question, my "query" was from the digital unix
boot process not from the console. I did figure out what the problem
was however.
I also had a narrow-single-ended scsi card installed on the PCI bus.
Once that was removed all of the problems vanished. DU installed like
a champ and I was even able to repartition the drive from stand-alone
unix.
It really does look like a big (reliable) drive. Very cool. I even
have the swap allocated on the raid5.

| Some adapters will do bad things to the system under some
rare mis-configuration conditions. Connecting a terminator
or a device to them usually solves their problem.
Maybe that adapter had one of these problems, or maybe it
was just broken.
