Sorry I was just remembering out of memory what the postinstall script added
to /etc/system. 8-)

That's a good point Casper. I will try the 64-bit driver instead. Magma
supply a 64-bit version called 'mh64' so I'll give that a go and see what
happens.

The machine is running with a pair of 300 Mhz x1191a processors and I
believe it is running in 64-bit mode from what I remember of the boot-up
messages.

Regards,

Craig.
