Hi guys,

After a bit of mucking around I found that the microvax3100 just plain
doesn't like booting off anything over a 1GB disk.

Is this a well know issue?

I have a bunch of 2GB barracudas that came from a deceased alpha server
and would like to use them...

Is accessing 'large' disks a problem or just booting from them?

regards,

Kim
