Hmm. Well, I've got the latest openboot patch for the Ultra 5
installed, so it looks like the U5 is limited to 32Gb IDE discs. I
might see if I can cap the Maxtor to 32Gb to confirm.
Is this limitation mentioned in the Sarge Sparc install manual
anywhere? I couldn't find it on a cursory scan.
cheers,
Phil
