Yes, the hfs on Puma. Would you happen to know the url for hfsutils? There
was one posted to this list a short while back, but either it was a bad
address, or the server was napping when I tried it.

Sorry, I don't know. I got a real 68040 chip just  a couple of weeks ago,
and loaded BSD. The first build of hfs with last months 1.3ALPHA binaraies
and the GENERICSBC-46 kernel worked just fine. The first kernel that I
finally got to build, and boot, crashed into the debugger when I launched
hfs. Something must have changed in the last couple of weeks. I can't even
look in the sources I used, because I filled up (fragmented) the /usr
partition and had to delete most of it.

On the bright side, sd0h now works. It was broken under GENERICSBC-46. That
partition is going away anyway, however, as I think I'm going to need one,
big /usr partition. I intend to repartition and reload current this week.
