I could never get the SBC's to get past that PDMA message. I use Quantam drives
almost exclusively so I tried a couple of old 80 meg drives, a 120, and it
doesn't want to boot on my 1 Gig Fireball either. 

I still think we don't quite understand something about either the memory
mapping or the SCSI on the IIvx and somebody just reported the same
problem on an LCII (whose V8 chip is a predecessor to the VASP in the IIvx).

I really would like to get to the bottom of the kernel size SCSI bug one
of these days. It's quite annoying. :)
