Thank you very much. That worked! I should have checked the mount  
syntax. Some other OS has the -rw flag I think. That's the problem  
with spending your time between Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,

My SE/30 is finally functioning properly except for the kernel panic  
whenever I reboot. Any ideas on what could be causing that?
