It's partitioned, one 4gb MacOS hfs partition, the rest NetBSD. The problem occurs even when I plug in a 9GB drive the scsi controller doesn't like. (IBM 9GB with Compaq custom firmware, some scsi controllers will deal with them, some won't.) Raw freshly lowleveled drive or partitioned. I may try booting with just my 2gb plugged in, and bring the 36gb online afterwords to see if it really is just MacOS oddness or a hardware issue. At the moment though, seems quite happy running the Asante on an alternate address. Now if I can just figure out why Booter doesn't want to load a kernel direct from my root partition... keeps complaining about the magic number being incorrect, my ufs partition is invalid, etc. Doesn't matter what I put in for a partition... oh well.
