HELP, I am having trouble getting my second drive up on386bsd-0.1.
I have made a disktab entry which looks right to me, and I have
tried to install it with the command:

	disklabel -w -r wd1a max245at
	newfs /dwv/wd1a max245at

and that works fine.  I can mount it, put stuff on it, but when
I reboot, I can't seem to read the label anymore? 

When I reboot and try to run fsck:

	fsck -p /dev/rwd1a

I get:
	UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY

If i run it manually, I get:

	can't open /dev/wd1a: invalid argument

Shortly thereafter, I get the message:

386bsd: wd1: cannot find label (bad sector table corrupted)

If I read the disklabel, it looks ok to me.

I got "fixed" files for /usr/mdec, and that didn't help.

What am I doing wrong?

Bruce
