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
