Type 1 error: SCSI error during initial boot of 2.8 install CDROM and/or Floppy disk.

Problem:  Cannot boot installation CD and/or floppy to install 2.8.
   During boot process I receive the following messages followed by a hang
which requires a hardware reset:
+++++++++++++++

BIOS is the Latest available from ASUS and includes Adapter bios V3.0

As you can see, I have SIX(6) operating systems of various sources,
INCLUDING OpenBSD 2.7, all of which can find and use my scsi devices without
hesitation.  I saw in the 2.7 to 2.8 delta list that you included support
for the Adaptec 2930 CU  and Bigendian support -- could these have
introduced new scsi problems?  I was unable to find a problem like this in
the message archives or the errata page.  I did try to disable the pcibios,
that made no impact.
