Some words from smbolics:  if you use :Format SCSI Disk
with a Genera prior to 8.3, there's a good chance that
it won't work.  I think the problem is that it doesn't
setup the FEP file system properly so when you do a
load world, it takes a flier.  When load scans for the
world files, it goes nuts.  It seems that it will be
necessary to issue some new flods to make the whole
process bomb proof.

Doug Evans at symbolics says that segates are fine.  In
fact he has a fairly complete list of what works and what
doesn't.  Further, there are some procedures -- hardware
and software -- that must be followed in order to put a
new disk in play.

If you want to talk to Doug, call him at 1 (800) 824-4263
during west-coast work hours.  His email address is
devans@netcom.com.  If we are all lucky, symbolics will be
back on the net soon and these sorts of questions will get
the real expert's answers.

Let me know what ends up working.  I'm thinking of getting
some more gigs for our NXP1000s and I assume that the XL
experiences will be similar.
