I'm sorry to spoil your joy but that shouldn't be the problem. I
had and solved a problem with devs:NSDPatch.cfg myself and this I
did learn:
In OS3.5 the old C:NSDPatch program is no longer needed. I believe
setpatch or the Rom Update loads it (I forget which....senile?)
My own difficutly arose concerning some confusion concerning some
patch lines in devs:NSDPatch.cfg with the 2nd.scsi.device - these
lines are for the *A4000T* scsi *not* the A4091 scsi. This caused
write freezes fairly often requiring partition re-validation...
until we knew it by heart. Christmas day and the new BB1 update gave
the clue.
For what it's worth, I suggest you read - and maybe edit as
necessary - he devs:NSDPatch.cfg file. In the form it is installed
it is very general and requires fine-tuning...

Correct... it's installed automagically now...

:) ...sorry but I feel there may be more work... still, there is a
way out and that always feels much better <grin>
