As I posted earlier I get the following error on my multia.

 insufficent dynamic memory for a request of 3275342649 bytes

So,  I've done some checking and it seems to me that in
/usr/src/sys/boot/alpha/boot1/sys.c fs->fs_bsize is REALLY big.  Large
enough to give the above error (3GB).  

	If I compile boot.c with #define DEBUG it will lockup in devread
on puthex(size).  devread is called from find() in sys.c like this:

  devread(iobuf, fsbtodb(fs, ino_to_fsba(fs, ino)) + boff, fs->fs_bsize_);    

Am I doing something stupid to cause this?

Thanks

Mark
