  This happened to me when I upgraded. I believe this is because mount now
uses mount_ffs by default, your /etc/fstab must still be using ufs, mount
first tried to find mount_ufs in /sbin then checks /usr/sbin.  Either change
/etc/fstab or make a link from mount_ffs to mount_ufs in /sbin.

  This seems odd... did you install mfs or some other software that deals with
the floppy drive?  Try booting without your startup-sequence and see if this
still happens.  If it doesn't, start commenting commands out until it works.

  Is the netbsd partition corrupt?  If you are just having problems with
mount you might be able to boot up in single user mode and make a link
from ffs->ufs.  I have a current boot floppy I can send you, I don't want
to put it up for general distribution since the lifespan of current
binaries is fairly short.  It would be nice if the person doing the
occasional snapshots would do a floppy along with it.  You just have to do
a make in /usr/src/distrib/amiga. If nobody else has sent you one, email
me and I will do so.  There's no point in everyone mailing you 10 MB of
boot floppies :)
