Hi, I am creating a diskless system with the root partition as an MFS partition. I do not seem able to get it to mount / even though it boots and gets as far as running rc (so it must be able to read vn0a up to the attempt to mount). my fstab entry is: /dev/vn0a / mfs rw 1 1 The directory structure itself is crunched and gzipped. the error message is "mfs not compiled in". I have compiled in newfs and used a link in the crunch config from that to mount_mfs and both are symbolically linked to the crunched file. What puzzles me is that it would appear it's attempting to exec "mfs" not "mount_mfs". Any help appreciated, Peter PS - please respond by email - I do not subscribe to hackers.
