   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
