IIRC, the version that is around does so, yes.

That will not work if you have OF version 1.0.5, which doesn't seem to
support partition numbers.
On the other hand, what kind of machine is this? Processor-upgraded?
What was the original, what is the new CPU?
I had a similar problem with my internal (MESH) SCSI bus and a spacific
IBM harddisk, after upgrading from a 604/132 to a G3/300. 'Slowing' down
the processor helped, and here is what I entered into OF. If you want to
give it a try, this should be harmless on OF versions other than 1.0.5:
code ictc!
7e9bfba6 l, 829f0000 l, 3bff0004 l, 4e800020 l,
end-code
pvr@ 80000 >=
if
hid0@ 208 or <- Thes lines are probably
FFFFFF7F and <- not necessary.
hid0! <- Try leaving them out.
11 ictc!
then
This slows the G3 processor down through setting the ICTC regsiter
(Instruction Cache Throttling Control).
