I've just acquired a PWS500au and have set about installing NetBSD on it
to replace the Debian Linux that was already there. My first difficulty
was that the disks could not be found until I removed some of the
memory. Digging through previous posts I found that this is an old
problem:

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-alpha/2002/06/25/0004.html

If this isn't a regression, should it not be put mentioned in the FAQ
until it's fixed?

Regards,

Chris
