Hi Scott,

Finally I was able to buy a proper SCSI cable. QUite hard to get one from
the normal computershops. Anyways, I still have the same problem. Disks
still recognised as 160MB instead of 320. I am also having problems now
installing Current on AMD64 with 4GB of memory. Seems to be something with
memoryhole. Anyways.. I did a verbose boot and I've put the results on my
webserver. http://www.superhero.nl/messages

Hope this helps.

Also, any suggestions why I get mangled entry panics or after rebuilding
world/kernel I am unable to mount the root system? I believe it has
something to do with the memory hole, but am not sure..

Rgds,

Patrick
