Thank you for these ideas.

I will have to look at the offsets again tonight, just to make sure
that they look right.

The new machine is booted off the old venti, so the executables are
the same on both.

The new machine is a VIA.  I will try again without dma.  I will also
add in the bloom partition, but I'm low on memory at the moment (256MB
doesn't sound low to me, but I find the new venti can be a bit greedy
if not constrained), so I'm not sure if that is actually worth doing.
I will read the venti man pages more slowly to understand better.

I will also try the dd approach to do a simple test of the disk.

Thanks again,
Robby
