It there a trick to mounting /var &/or /tmp on a second drive? I've got 
a sparc running 1.6 with the following in /etc/fstab:

/dev/sd0a  /  ffs  rw  1 1
/dev/sd0b  none  swap  sw  0 0
/dev/sd1a  /tmp ffs  rw  1 2
/dev/sd1b  none  swap  sw  0 0
/dev/sd1g  /home ffs  rw  1 2

All boots well but if I try to startx I get an error stating "can't 
mkdir /tmp/.X11-unix" (or something to that effect). Eliminating the 
/tmp entry in /etc/fstab fixes the problem. Maybe some sort of FS 
integrity thing?
