BTW, you might want to make sure your mailer wraps lines at 80 columns or
so....actually I think that 76 is the recommended length.

Are you using a 1.3 GENERIC kernel?  If you're using current, it's
conceivable that things have moved around.  Anyway, to fix it, boot into
single-user mode and do a:

disklabel sd1

The output should indicate which partitions on your disk are BSD
partitions.  The BSD partition that is not 'a' or 'b' should be your usr
partition :-)

Once you've figured this out, do a:

mount /
mount -r /dev/sd1X /usr    [where X is the newly found partition]
cd /etc
vi fstab

Then edit fstab to reflect the new partition letter.  I'm not quite sure
why the Installer wouldn't figure this out itself, but there are a few
circumstances where it might happen....

When your done, do a:

umount -a
fsck
reboot -n

and you should be set.  I hope this helps.

Later.
