Alas, deducing from what I saw what newfs told me (note that >newfs and mount_mfs are identical) you'll probably want to tell it the >number of heads and the number of sectors per track manually (-t and -u, I >think - "newfs" without options will tell you this) Most likely not. The above is a benign warning (it has been eliminated for the default case meanwhile) and in no way a reason for newfs/mount_mfs to fail. Since mount_mfs detaces from the controlling tty and runs as a daemon, it cannot emit any error messages to the terminal. You have to check your syslog messages for the reason of the error. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
