Umm, you can't then :)
Perhaps you should have made /tmp and /usr the same partition
<shrugs>. Tho with all the talk maybe someone will fix it soon ;)
I have found that when I mount my 1G MSDOS/Win95 partition, I can look
in the root directory, but nothing else, otherwise I get a kernel
panic 'allocbuf. buffer larger than MAXBSIZE requested', which is
kinda annoying. I think the ATAPI interface code may be doing this,
but I'll have to test it. Mounting DOS partitions works OK for the
400meg partition on my 515meg drive tho :-/
