Yes, I am (at least for the PC164 Milo). I just tried it another
time. This is what I get if I try a `ls´ on a partition with
sparse superblocks (anything too strange might be a typo):

MILO> ls sdc6:
attempt to access beyond end of device
08:26: rw=0, want=457756057, limit=2049008
block_read: read failed (after 0 bytes)

Looks correct to me. The file
ftp://genie.ucd.ie/pub/alpha/milo/milo-latest/PC164
is identical to the one I use for booting.
