Subject: 386BSD bug: Still no luck with an A5 ``DOS'' partition

Current situation:
/386bsd 0.1.48 from agate - the 2 IDE disk one.
Drive 1 is a Seagate ST1102A 80MB IDE wholly devoted to 386BSD.
Drive 2 is a Seagate ST157A 40MB IDE with 3 `DOS' partitions:
33M DOS [ I use Winiboot to select DOS/Minix ]
3M Minix
7M Unused
What I am trying to do:
I want to install a 386BSD partition on drive 2 in the unused third
partition. Then I will swap drives 1 & 2 over and use the 40M drive
for DOS, Minix and 386BSD /, and the 80M drive as /usr and swap.
Bug:
[ When I say partition I mean `DOS' partition ]
With partition 3 marked as 00 (unused), I can read from /dev/rwd1d
and do disklabel -r wd1. I get the information from the first
absolute sector of drive 2 in this case.
With partition 3 marked as A5 (386BSD), doing anything with rwd1d,
or disklabel -r wd1, the whole system hangs. The terminal driver
seems to still be working, as characters such as ^V still work.
The system must be reset at this stage.
Other information:
Here is my DOS partition table from the 2nd drive, uuencoded. Also
the information in it as reported by Minix's fdisk. Also included
is my disklabels for the two drives. The ST1102A has been written
to drive 1, and I have yet been unable to write the ST157A label
on drive 2 (see above).
