The 2nd partition is about 4031MB. That is larger than 4GB right?

But one of the other partitions (I think the 3rd or 4th) is @ about 1.5GB and that is not seen either.
This isn't about the size, but where the partition is located. Anything beyond the first 4GB will not be seen unless if you patch your scsi.device.

BUT, if i set them as FFS instead of SFS they work and are seen.
Word of warning: They likely only appear to work and randomly trash anything below the 4GB.

See http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/check4gb

SFS is all a mess i think... Even now stuff in the system partion is saying HD0 has a blockid error in block xxxxx expected blockid 0x424e4443, but the block says it is blockid 0x6a727778,

I warned you about this. FFS only appears to work but happily trashes innocent data.
