Not sure how much that'd help given I did pretty much that (unless not
enough) to wd1 which also exhibits the same behaviour?  I can try

I don't speak forth, but it's something I've been meaning to learn,
and I have time as well as the inclination to fix this (I really don't
want to take the easy route and just slap Solaris on it), so any
pointers would be appreciated.  The machine needs to be installed
relatively quickly though, so if there are people with more skills
available to look at this I'd really appreciate it.
