OK - she be running - no thanks to netbooting.

I finally just put the ATTO card and in an OF 4 mac and installed from
there. No hangs at the memory printout - even with the same kernel!

So .. I dunno what's going on. If anyone would like to test this -
I'll leave my setup going for a fews days.

Thankyou ever so much to Bill, bob and Neil.

Regards,
  C.
