I had a similar problem with my 9GB SCSI harddrive (via CSPPC SCSI
controller). I can't remember exactly how I got it to boot up, but I booted
from another drive, and then use the "Check Filesystems" function of
PFSDoctor to get all the partition info off the HD. I then used HDToolBox to
repartition the HD with all the correct info - but this time I used the
direct-scsi version of PFS3 rather then the standard version I'd been using
before. It's been running perfectly ever since :-)

Cheers.
