SCSI host detected, but not the drive

[Kazumitsu Hanai]

Hi,

A kernel argument "ncr53c8xx=nvram:n" in the BootX window may help you.
You can find many parameters for the ncr53c8xx scsi driver in README.ncr53c8xx
that is contained in the kernel source/drivers/scsi. "nvram:n" is one of the
best known parameters, when the driver cannot find the drive.
