A user reported that with a vs3100 M38 that the following message
occasionally showed up in the console window:
Aug 15 11:05:45 maui vmunix: uba?: stray intr ipl 14 vec 774
Problem: The scsi drive 5 is not configured into the kernel but the
sz_probe found it and started interrupts.
Fix: Get the patches I sent in audited for 7.2 or the ultrix4.0 driver
and add the proper confi to the kernel.
It's actually good that we don't have drive 5 configured in as without
the fixes, any errors on the floppy (cause the floppy is not in the
drive for instance) would cause the machine to go into diskwait as the
load started rising with the only recovery being rebooting.
