Boot problems after install Part II

[Mark Walker]

I was able to see this much of the error message after it gave up trying to
load the kernel:
dev 08:04 blksize=512 blocknr=14578641 sector=14578641 size=512 count=1
hfs_fs: unable to read block 0x00de73d1 from dev 08:04
attempt tp access beyond end of device
08:04: rw=0, want 7289321, limit 20480

My boot loader is on sda4 (20MB), swap is sda6 (256MB), ext2 is on sda7
(6.8GB)
sda1 & 2 are Mac related as is sda5 which is MacOS 9 (1.5GB)
Sdb is a 4.5 GB drive in Mac HFS

Thinking it might be scsi termination related I've tried every possible
combination following manufacture direction and making some up as I go.  I
also moved the drives to different positions on the scsi cable.  I also made
sda scsi id 1 instead of 0.  I also tried it with just sda connected.

sda is a Western Digital WDE 9100 9.1GB and sdb is a Fujitsu 3045 4.5 GB.

Thanks for everyone's input to date.
