I saw someone else post a similar question about this already without
any real response.  I've installed 386BSD very nicely on the 40MB drive
in my machine (the bindist stuff).  What I had in mind, however, was to
make my 2nd hard drive (an 80MB Seagate ST4096) into another filesystem
that would hold the etcdist and srcdist.  But I can't get the stupid
thing to work!  Both are connected to a 1:1 MFM Western Digital hard
drive controller.  Every time I try to touch wd1 in any way with the
disklabel program, it locks the machine up tighter than a drum.  Remote
telnets (which worked before I locked it) won't even let me in to shut
the machine down gracefully--it's major frozen.  What's the deal???  The
wd1* dev entries would imply to me that this should be supported.  How
do I make it work?  Thanks for all the help you can give.
