The best thing to do with BSD partitions under AmigaDOS is to pretend
that they are read-only... If all you do is read the data then things
tend to work OK, it is when you start writing to the partition that you
start corrupting things.  I had a similar experience under NetBSD 1.1
and BFFS 1.3.  It would probably be a good idea to upgrade your BFFS to
a newer version, check the NetBSD-Amiga ftp sites for the latest (1.4b?)

The .X11-unix dir should be under /tmp as /tmp/.X11-unix, this is where
X lists sockets in use.

You might want to do an 'upgrade' and restore the core system from the
original install files...
