Progress: getting a D1000 to work

Not really a summary, since I'm hoping for more, but:

In brief: D1000 array doesn't work, and I'm seeing strange scsi bus
resets. (Solaris 8)- 3 disks weren't lighting up.

Suggestions
        -is the card compatible? (yes, it's X6541A)
        -can you see the disks with format? (no)
        -try: ok probe-scsi-all (results in hang)
        -is the terminator HVD (Ah.. no! it's not!)

Well, setting the bank of switches on the back to this position got all
the disks to spin up:
1 up
2 down
3 down
4 up
5 down

...but this isn't the default position, is it?

Clue?

What address is the box supposed to be set to (the round dial?)

Unfortunately, after ordering an HVD terminator, I still only see one
disk with probe-scsi-all.

Errors in /var/adm/messages look like:

WARNING: /pci@1f.0pci@5/scsi@2 (glm0)
Connected command timeout forTarget 0,0
glm0: fault detected in device still available
got scsi bus reset
glm0: fault detected in device still available
sd1 at glm0: target 0 lun 0
WARNING:
corrupt label - wrong magic number

sd2 isn't mentioned but I also have corrupt label- wrong magic number
warnings for sd3, sd4, sd5, sd6, sd8 (where's 7?), sd9, sd10, sd111,
sd12 and sd13.

After running devfsadm (even though prob-scsi-all puked) format sees 11
of the 12 disks in the array.
