HELP,

  I have been trying all night to re-partition my SCSI drive so I
would have more than 5M of swap space.  So far I have configured a
30MB root file system (as0a), 40 MB swap area (as0b), and 563MB of
user space (as0d -- I noticed in the /dev that all the other devices
where ...h not ...d, maybe this is my problem)

Any way, I wrote this disklabel and ran newfs /dev/as0a 
and newfs /dev/as0d.  Now if I mount partition a and copy files to it,
these same files appear on the d partition.  If I copy files onto the
d partition, they also appear on the a partition when mounted.

disktab entry:

kenscsi|SCSI drive 630MB:\
	:dt=SCSI:ty=winchester:se#512:nt#64:ns#32:nc#632: \
	:pa#61440:oa#0:ta=4.2BSD:ba#8192:fa#1024: \
	:pb#81920:ob#61440:tv=swap: \
	:pc#12294336:oc#0: \
	:pd#1150976:od#143360:td=4.2BSD:bd#8192:fd#1024:


I noticed that the files were being created on both partitions while
trying to follow the section in the FAQ (Q#2.04, downloaded from agate).
Is this the directions I should be using to trying to manually install
386bsd.

Also, is 30MB too much (not enough) for the root filesytem?

Thanks,
Ken Ivey
