   on the 205 and 8K on the 345MB.  When I boot the computer is hangs
   when mounting the root (/) partition.  It just sits there.  I can boot
   it in single user and and the type exit and let it boot into
   multi-user and it comes up.  Boot from a warmboot or cold boot it will
   not boot multiuser.  I need help please!  An ideas?

That is..  Interesting.  When we usually see such problems, it's invariably
the case that even single user boot is out of the question - yet you're able
to boot single user then proceed into multiuser.  I also assume that the
various commands in /etc/rc* also run to completion, and without errors.
All I can suggest is that your init is somehow damaged.  How did you load
the system?
