The latest version of NetBSD 4.0 (12/16/07) has the same
bug.  One can 
always hope...

Here is an update to this thread.  I have gone ahead and
replaced the 
hard drive (Apple 1.3GB ATA drive piggybacked on a SCSI
converter card) 
on my Powerbook 180 with a standard issue SCSI Apple/IBM
320MB drive to 
see if that was the problem.  Daily builds of NetBSD 3.1
(patched) now 
run fine using the GENERIC kernel.  Daily builds of 4.0,
however still 
exhibit the same behavior as before:  The GENERIC kernel
hangs at 
"scsibus0:  waiting 2 seconds for devices to
settle..." (obviously, the 
bug fixes in the patched 3.1 kernel were not incorporated
into 4.0)  
The GENERICSBC kernel boots into single user mode just fine,
but when I 
attempt to mount / and boot into multi-user mode... Magic
numbers do 
not match -- Improper UFS partition.  Could not open kernel
"netbsd".  
Has anyone reported that 4.0 is actually working on a
Powerbook 1xx?
