This is likely a problem with the BIOS on the system, the memory map has duplicate entries.. You can attempt to manually fix this at boot> using a variation of the same command used to retreive the mappings: boot> mach mem =1023M You can play around with it, maybe try removing both of the duplicates first: boot> mach mem -0x3ff00000@0x100000 boot> mach mem -0x3ff00000@0x100000 -Bryan.
