I have a dead tree manual here for the MVME147 SCSI Firmware, which lists
all the packet status codes. I have no reason to believe the '167 firmware
does things any differently.

For 000E, it says "Error in attach (not previously attached, bad device
LUN, unsupported controller)."

Not much more helpful, but watch out for the slight differences in the
command syntax between 147Bug and 167Bug. ISTR the device/LUN parameters
are specified differently. Perhaps that's the problem.

The NetBSD source is available... 8-)
