Nope.  I couldn't get around the problem.  In fact, I couldn't even get my
system to boot when I moved the CD-ROM to the "external" NCR SCSI bus.  It
seems that the kernel (when it recognizes it at all) does not think it's a
CD-ROM and gives it a fictitious geometry.  This means that I cannot
install from a CD-ROM with the distribution sets on it.

Isn't the MESH used on all "original" PCI PowerMacs, as well as the Beige
G3's?  Shouldn't someone look into this being broken for this many months?
