Hi gang,
I used /stand/sysinstall to partition, label and mkfs an
additional SCSI disk in my machine. I also allowed it to start
installing from the distribution CD before killing /stand/sysinstall.
(I did this because I can't figure out how to get mkfs to happen
otherwise...)
Anyway, the "a" slice seems to have a read-only bit hidden
in it somewhere. I have tried to mount it as both /tmp and /var,
and both times I have been unable to write in this directory as
a not-root user. Permissions are the same as the original directory
from what I can tell, so all I can figure is there is a hidden
flag somewhere.
In need of a clue,
Bruce
