Hmm...  This shouldn't matter if you are using -memcache, perhaps you 
can comment out the jfs check, assuming its in the /etc/rc.afs file and

Thats a bit large of a chunksize.
Does /usr/vice/etc/afsd -memcache -chunksize 18 -blocks 65536 work for 
you?

I've seen the -memcache option frequently cause crashes if the cache 
size is set too high.
