[Aurora-sparc-user] 2.98: SCSI esp errors prevent installation on U1

After a successful install on my U60, I decided to dust off my U1 and 
give that a go. I'm unable to get very far due to SCSI (esp) errors. The 
installer kernel probes the bus successfully and locates sda with proper 
identity strings. However, it immediately thereafter starts aborting 
commands, reports a DMA error, resets the SCSI bus, and offlines the 
device. I can write down the exact dmesg errors if that is useful. (Is 
there a way to switch ttys during install with a serial console? That 
would save some writing...) I've tried multiple disks in various 
positions in the chassis as well as add/removing a SCSI cdrom drive to 
permute the bus, but all configs behave essentially the same.
