I know what you mean by "more" (seen it) , but the db messages differs
depending on how i try to mount the Xtra partition:
-from the installer application i get the message i've sended you
-if i try to mount from within BSD (e.g. mount /dev/sd1g /newusr) it just
hangs and i have to force a restart
-adding the proper line in /etc/fstab (like /dev/sd1g /newusr ffs rw 1 2)
gives me a bigger db message (probably the one you would like to see)
If i could only figure out how to log these messages and save the output
(so i can read it after in MacOS), it would save me a lot of writing and  i
would be able to send you the complete log/db messages (i do not have a
printer connected).

It happens every time.Any idea what could be the cause of this and how to
avoid it?

Xtra question: is it possible that the problems are in any way related to
the kernel itself (if you take in account the other problems i've mentioned
)
