A further point - I mentioned in my last mail that attempts to access an 
nbd device start very early in the boot sequence. I now also notice 
after looking at several boot sequences that the first seems always to 
be an attempt to access nbd60, sector 0 (but the sector 0 may be a red 
herring).  I suspect something is trying to acccess block device 43,60 
hoping to find something other than a non-existent nbd device).
