OK, fools rush in here. Am I right in remembering that you are doing this 
install on a 40G HDD? Is that the original HDD?

IIRC the OSRCD includes the partition table, and if it's not a partition 
table for a 40G HDD, it's going to install partitions on (say) the first 
9G of your HDD and ignore the rest. Again IIRC one of the things Gerald 
does on his custom OSRCDs is adjust the partition table, which I assume is 
how he built a 40G drive on our Qube3 last week.

Search the archives for "OSRCD partition table" and you should get some 
useful stuff to solve your problem.
