Which one of the following could have caused: ? - When I built the two boot disketts(boot,cpio), my a-drive is 1.2M (5,1/4"), the two disketts built ok though(on 51/4"). - after edit/disklabel my bsd partitions, the partion "e" was allocated to msdos(/dos) partition. I noticed in the installatio installation guide, partition "h" was connected to /dos. Is this a problem. - what else ? if not above? could cause root mount problem? Thanks for your timely response. Ahmad.
