Well, that is typical of a full partition on the drive.
Looks like the boot-up routine did not recognize the 30 GB drive.
Probably something with the number of sectors, If the number is
too big, the drive can be registered as a very small drive.

Are you sure it is a 30GB drive? If it is bigger than 33.8 GB it
may not work. (that's unformatted size.)

There may be a work around, we just discussed large drives here
a day or so ago (for a RaQ2, which is similar).

Search google for "linux large drives". It's a shame that someone does
not update the kernel on the MIPS machines.
