Hello Mark,

I deleted the partition via format, created a new one of 50% and then in 
install I chose to install on the 2nd half of the disk. Same panic 
(except that unix:trap+43e changed from value +1799). It however still 
saw the boot menu.
Ran a 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0p0 count=1' and same without 
the count (stopped after an hour) and then it stopped instead. Still 
panicked when I tried after that (and then the trap was back to 1799).

Btw, the format option inside 'format' is not supported on this controller.

As seen in the cpqary3 man page:
