Hmm, weird results.
I can netboot the openbsd kernel with included ramdisk, look
at the installed disk and reboot from the disk, all fine. I
can hdo a shutdown with halt and a boot dka400, this boots
the OpenBSD from the IBM Disk. But I can't cold boot from the disk
after power up...
If you mean that you have the console set to boot on power up and it
won't
do that, then that's probably because the console detected an error of
some
sort. Since it seems that the disk works (since you can boot it when the
console doesn't get in the way - and perhaps when you issue a B command
at the console?) then I guess that your errors on SCSI A are the issue.
I *think* that the wiring inside the M76 is such that there are two SCSI
buses: the internal one and the external one. If you do not have a
terminator
on the external bus then that may cause an error and that may cause the
power-on boot to fail.
This is just a guess though.
