I think you need to add "nobats" (minus quotes) to the bootstrap
command-line, IIRC, to allow the BlizzPPC SCSI support to work.  At least,
that's what I use here, and everything is fine (my root partition is on
a SCSI drive).  I'm sure I remember reading that nobats was required,
but can't remember where.
