Try an SBC kernel?  :-)

Actually, you might want to run the Installer utility and do a disklabel
in the MiniShell to see if your partition shows up there correctly.

Where's your new partition?  Is your SCSI chain properly terminated?

Please try an SBC kernel and see if it works better for you.  Hopefully,
that'll fix the problem.  Also, since these errors aren't always
reproducible, try it again several times and see if it'll boot one of
them.

Later.
