Hi,

  Has anyone else had trouble mounting their dos partition after installation?
After defining a mount point in disklabel and installing the bindist from that
partition, the OS won't boot completely.  I get a message about not being able
to mount /msdos and am banished to sh, where I have no luck mounting it 
manually:

	# mount_msdos /dev/wd0s4 /msdos
	# mount: bad argument

  Much obliged for any suggestions.  Please reply via email, as I haven't been
receiving mailing list posts for several weeks.

One note:
  	since my disk has 1048 cyl, I have set the bios to 1024 so that
  	dos doesn't corrupt the MBR by mapping the geometry.  This works
  	fine in 2.0-RELEASE.
  	
Please let me know if you need more detailed info, and I will email it this
evening.

  Thanks again,
Chris
