So Crimson's 50-pin-scsi-disk died on me (one of IBM deathstars). I put an 18GB Quantum SCA 80pin drive into the machine via adapter and got massive, not disk-associated errors trying to invoke fx. First I thought there were problems with the external SCSI-CROM. Then I downgraded to a 4gb Disk SCA-disk, with then having no errors.

Are the older machines somehow limited for disk-size? 

And here for later reference:

Code:

boot -f dksc(X,Y,8)sashIP17 dksc(X,Y,7)stand/fx.IP17 --x

this was the only variation that worked for me using an original 5.3 media ....
