Subject: HELP - Installing Seagate 9GB Drive

I have a P90 w/32MB RAM, 3COM Ethernet IIITP, Buslogic 946C revE.
I am trying to install the 9GB Drive as follows:
/      100MB
swap   160MB
/usr   8300MB
/tmp   109MB

(This is a new system)
As soon as it mounts the filesystem and before I get to the point 
where it asks what software you want to load I get the following error:

(something like...)

/a/usr: bad dir ino 2 at offset: 0
mangled entry
panic bad dir
syncing disks   22 21  ...and a whole bunch of numbers

If I reinstall the disk as follows:

/	16MB
swap	48MB
/tmp	mfs
/usr	1000MB

This works...

Do you need more than 32MB to mount an 8GB volume???

Any assistance greatly appreciated

Thanks
John
