I've never seen your particular driver, but I know I had some problems with
the Columbia Data SCSI ROM (usually residing on a Western Digital card). The
initial symptoms were identical to yours: quits the setup after 2 steps.
The problem was solved by calling Columbia Data to get a new release of their
ROM: it was an undersight on behalf of the original ROM programmers. It is
quite possible that you have a similar problem.
