This may sound like a silly question, but what novell disk device driver
did you select when gen-ing the compsurf disk?  You should have a driver
labeled "SST multifunction card"  selected to enable novell to correctly
handle this controller.  I am using a wd7000-FAST with 2 327M Imprimis
drives.  When I first got this machine I made the mistake of trying to
run compsurf comfigured for a standard AT controller on it and got these
exact results.

Hope this helps.
