I just tried with a single drive, It failed, and at a quick glance, it
looked like it failed exactly the same way.  I'm nowhere near the machine
right now, but I'll check it this evening, and if it isn't the same failure,
I'll post dmesg/trace/ps

Thanks to everyone who suggested this.  It took a couple days to get the mac
in a state where I could test it.

But older versions of OpenBSD should work?  Can you tell me about when it
stopped working so that I can pick a release to start from?

Thanks very much.
